I got into work today at 7:35 to try to finish up crap from yesterday. Didn't work, I encountered more troubles, but damn do I feel virtuous about trying! I even mailed Timothy his stupid leather on the way in. :b
(The first part of today's subject line is from Tori Amos' song "Leather", which I now have stuck in my head.)
Last night was interesting. I had a really good talk with my editor friend (by which I mean he's a writer, and used to read slush for magazines, and knows how to edit--not that he works as an editor). I will call him editor bear. Anyway, he had reviewed my story for me as a favor and he loved it--he likes it way more than I do really. He got me totally psyched up and believing it will sell to someone if I send it out. I do need to do some edits, but we're talking word changes, not massive scene rewrites. Made me happy! The one thing I don't have yet is a title... hmmm... title title title. Title. Nope, it's not coming out yet.
I also got to ask a question related to last Sunday's idea, namely: how hard is it to start up a new magazine? I decided I can tell you that much without giving much away, since the idea of a new mag, itself, isn't new. In fact there are several books on Amazon about how to do it. The specifics must needs remain secret tho'. Anyway, ( if you want to read more about it, there's quite a bit of musing here... )
Third, we talked about editor bear's job at ESC (evil shifty corporation) and how he once loved it but now hates it. We brushed on almost the same topic![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bluechromis did today, namely why will people do things for an organization (corporation) that they won't do in their private lives? It seems to me that w/o personal gain as a motive there'd be even less incentive to be immoral and/or unreasonably greedy (by which I basically mean expanding for the sake of expanding). But, somehow, it happens.
Now, back to coding, I think. That virtuous feeling will go away if I slack too long, and I'm kinda likin' it. :)
