Progress Report, in which I engage panic mode

Still not done with that damned novel crit.  I figured that would be the case, but held out hopes of making a miraculous weekend push–which were derailed by a family medical emergency.  (It’s OK now, thanks.  And it’s really not much of an excuse.  I should have managed my time better.)

So:  Am now in panic mode.  Laser focus.  No time to chat.  Got work to do.

Write Club updates:

Tier one reject from Shock Totem.  Response time, about a month and a half.

And Dragon*Con rejected my guest application.  No great surprise there, really.  It’s a tough gig to get.  Some friends with much more impressive credentials than I got turned down this year.  Nonetheless, I am shamed.

Right.  That’s done.  See ya on the flip side.

Confidential to the snow that has been piled on my lawn since early December:

It is now March 1st.  The vernal equinox is on March 20th, at 12:32 CDT.  And you know what that means.

You have 20 days to pack your crap and get the hell off my lawn.  That’s it.  20 days.  Consider this your eviction notice. 

And don’t bother asking for an extension.

No love,

Me

Progress Report, in which I cannot tell a lie

I would just like to say that I had a phenomenally productive week, am now (gasp and swoon!) ahead of schedule, and am really looking forward to the next project.

Yes, I would like to say these things, but I can’t, because I’m a lousy liar.

So instead, I’ll just say that February is a really short month–which is cool if you hate winter as much as I do, but not so wonderful when you have a novel critique due on the first of March.

Yikes!  ‘Scuse me while I crack the whip . . .
