Vampiric vermin, I swear

Aaaaugh. I feel like for every one thing I get done, three more crop up. Like a nasty game of Whack-a-Mole. With moles that bite my ankles.

Since my last entry, this is what I’ve accomplished:

• finished “Braceleted,” walked to the PO, mailed it.
• continued on to the library and dropped off items that were due.
• decided not to write the next story on my list, for various reasons.
• got the assignment for the overnight Denise Little Workshop story, wrote it, and turned it in. (It’s called “At the Mirk and Midnight Hour.” Can anyone guess the reference?)
• read most of the DLW stories for the first assignment.
• downloaded all of the new stories to read.
• finished the draft of the March issue of The Oak Leaf for Ken to proof.
• went to the gym (Friday).

Still to do:

• gobs and gobs of e-mail, which includes things like “could you call me when you have some free time?” (Free time? Aaaugh!), two ongoing contract negotiations, and…I don’t even want to look and be reminded.
• read all the new DLW stories.
• write the next story on my list.
• ideally get The Oak Leaf ready and copied today or early tomorrow so I can take issues to the Costumed Fighter Practice tomorrow.
• grocery shopping for the next week or so plus food for the potluck picnic after the Costumed Fighter Practice.
• go to the gym (today and tomorrow).
• apply for more freelance editing/writing jobs.

Once more into the breach…
