Why didn't somebody stop me?
David Cronenberg says that when he was making Rabid back in 1977, he had a moment when he thought, "I'm making a movie about a porn star with a blood-sucking cock-thing coming out of her armpit. Why didn't somebody stop me?"

That's about how I felt today once I put the signed contract with Circlet Press in the mail. I'm now committed to writing another 30,000 words of steampunk erotica by December 1st. That works out to an average of 200 words per day, which sounds much more manageable. I also felt a little when I listened to Mur Lafferty's "I should be writing" podcast and she reiterated, "You are allowed to suck." I have at least 3 stories in mind, and possibly some shorter vignettes. One should be an interesting take on the Jekyll and Hyde story.

It's a pretty good deal, too. The advance is only US$75, but as its an ebook, 35% of revenue going to me. Compare that to the 8 per cent I get if it ever goes to print.
