A Couple of Squees

While I was updating my author's page at Teaspoon I went over and looked at my stats, and woohoo!  I've hit another milestone, went past 350 people having favorite authored me there, at 356!  Double woohoo!  I feel loved. *grins*

My second squee for the day is receiving notification that I was nominated in two categories for the Children of Time Awards, Round 2, once for the drabble Territorial and once as favorite author.  Thank you so much to whoever nominated me, and to sunnytyler (because you told me you did for fav author)!

Oh, if anyone wants a looksee I've put up my award banners on my LJ profile page for A Sky Without Zeppelins.  They are pretty.

Fic Update

Gosh, when the writer's block goes away, it goes away in style! I am currently 704 words into chapter 24 of Hunger Moon.

I've also written 974 words on something I'm tentatively calling Innocent as Sin.

I'm working on the rewrite of the next chapter of Just Another Shop Girl which got shoved to the side a bit with the holidays and then the flooding.

And I'm working on a scenario for a birthday present, this one's a full ficlet, not just a drabble or double drabble.

Oh, and then there's Aftermath which is challenging the hell out of me. Which it's supposed to do. The lovely jeprdyfrndly challenged me to write an entire one shot in drabble format. Every paragraph has to be a perfect drabble, exactly 100 words. It has to have at least 3000 words, but can be more. And it must deal with Rose's feelings during and after Girl in the Fireplace. And it can't have any smut in it, but a kiss is okay if I so choose. Demanding little thing, isn't she? Fortunately she gave me a month to write it in. It's currently at 1600 words and I have three weeks left in my month. *grins wryly* I think I'm gonna make it.
