Done done done done-duh-done done-duh-done

Well, almost everything I did today was in the writing column—which is my job, so it was all priority stuff anyway. I did get through some e-mail, though, and the laundry's in the washer. Ken and I ended up going out to dinner, which altered some of my timeline.

You'll note I also added some stuff to the list that I'd forgotten about this morning…

• finish the proposal for Angelika (first draft is off to Teresa)
  
• review returned Chapter 3
  
• assemble first three chapters into one file for mailing (probably tomorrow—there’s one more thing we have to tweak first)
  
• finish “Now You See Her” (short story) and send to Teresa for a quick crit if she has time
  
• write my bits for part one of Teresa’s and my online workshop at Passionate Ink in January
  
• review Teresa’s bits for part one of the workshop
  
• follow up with the workshop coordinator about our workshop
  
• update my website with new sales, etc. (also tomorrow—I’ve lost the brain power for it)
  
• promo Like a Myth (yup, also tomorrow)
  
• follow up with an editor about payment and some other small bits and bobs
  
• re-read Dean’s articles about setting goals and take notes (started, but there’s a lot to process)
  

Tomorrow, another writing session at CB&TL. I'm hoping to focus on Ghosted, which has been languishing. The other To Do stuff I can do at home.

Now it's late and I feel the need to curl up with a good book—to read, not write or edit.

To Do be do be do be

It’s one of those days when I feel I should post my To Do list, because it looks looming and extensive, and if I post it, I’ll feel compelled to really churn away at it. Or something like that.

Lots of writing stuff to do today (thankfully I’m meeting Ellenie at CB&TL for a few hours!):

• finish the proposal for Angelika (which may have a new title finally) and send to Teresa
  
• finish “Now You See Her” (short story) and send to Teresa for a quick crit if she has time
  
• write my bits for part one of Teresa’s and my online workshop at Passionate Ink in January
  
• follow up with the workshop coordinator about our workshop
  
• update my website with new sales, etc.
  
• follow up with an editor about payment and some other small bits and bobs
  

Then there’s the SCA stuff:

• work on the Shire newsletter for January (yeah. Chronicler again. Who expected that?). We’re moving to an online newsletter so I get to do a total re-design. Fun! But time consuming, and must be done after work is done.
  
• write and send Quartermaster Doomsday report (that woke me up last night—completely spaced on it ‘til now!)
  
• any Black Oak Lodge stuff that currently needs poking at
  

And let’s not forget about Life, the Universe, and Everything:

• holiday thank-you notes
  
• laundry
  
• dishes
  
• e-mail
  
• visit Morgana & Brian’s cat (they’re away for a few weeks, and Patches gets lonely)
  

I’m feeling a bit under the weather (minor stuff, nothing to worry about, but it’s very wearing and I run out of energy quickly), so I’m trying to triage and not overdo it. Ken’s on a bike ride today (I bowed out due to the minor health issues) but when he’s home, I can foist some things off on him. :-)

Anyway, I think that should keep me busy for a while… I’ll report back on my progress!

Randomness

To all my friends in the UK who got to see the Christmas episode of Doctor Who: ::pbltz!::

My friend Jenn Reese has posted an amazing story at her website. Go. Now. It’s awesome.

A reprint of my story “Peppermint Stick” is up at Circlet Press as part of their erotic advent calendar. Even though it was posted a few days ago, it’s still available—check it out before it vanishes! (Unlike Jenn's, mine is NSFW.)

And their eyes full of tinsel and fire

Love and blessings to all my friends this holiday season.
