Between projects, which means it’s time once again to catch up on correspondence, update the submissions database, and get some stories back in circulation.
It’s also time to decide what to work on next. Many things come to mind, not all of them involving new stories. For example, I need to 1) read for the Nebulas and Hugos; 2) get my website up and running (a goal of mine that keeps getting missed, for various reasons); or 3) clean my office (Gawd, is it a cluttered mess).
And yet, perversely enough, with all this stuff piling up, my muse has seen fit to drop a few story seeds in my brain. If any of them take root, the office clutter will have to persist for a while longer. Because if there’s one thing I try harder to weasel out of than writing, it’s cleaning.
Hmmm. Perhaps I’ve discovered a new motivational trick.
Write Club update: A personalized bounce from IGMS, with a suggestion for a rewrite that I’ll have to mull. Response time, one day.
Moving on . . .
