writing dust rengeek shakespeare
The final pass proofs for Dust just landed.

They want them back Oct 15.

Did I mention the 7,485 words I still need to cut from Ink & Steel, and the final revisions for that and Hell & Earth (for which I do not yet have an edit letter) both due Nov 1, which functionally means Oct 30, due to the abovementioned convention?

I'm not even thinking of the two novellas I need to try to write before I start Chill.

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

The rock isn't going to cut it anymore. If anybody wants me, I'll be under this gun.

But right now, I'm going to walk down to the bank, and then come home and eat some oatmeal and do the long-put-off writeup post for CM 3x02, thank you for your patience.
  • Mood: somebody had better be getting me drunk at wfc

That's the spirit. :-)

We could more than likely find you some excellent single malt at WFC.

I have a credit card and I'm not afraid to use it.

LOL! Okay, I might take you up on that.

or I might realistically be too tired to drink.

Eep!

Good luck! (And don't put your finger in the barrel of that gun you're under. The Mythbusters looked at that already - it's unlikely to hurt the gun, and an excellent way to lose a hand. One hand is already dedicated to scritching Her Majesty; you can't afford to lose the one that can actually get work done :)

HRH is currently enthroned on my mousepad. Apparently I need to start calling it a catpad now.

But of course! You couldn't possibly expect her to put her delicate tush on the bare desk, could you?

I will gladly buy you a drink if I see you at WFC. And I hope to! :)

If I were going to WFC, I'd ply you with liquor.

Oh, yeah, 3x02, in which we learn that Hotch will mother anybody, even horrible politicos. Have I mentioned lately that I love Hotch a _lot_?

There, posted.

Hotch is love. Prentiss is love.

Hotch and Prentiss doubleteaming horrible people? Is not merely twice the love but LOVE SQUARED.

Sheesh. No worries. At the rate you're going, we'll just wave the bottle in front of you for maximum inebriation...

And, once again, you have earwormed me, and this time for a band you don't even like.

You said "under the gun," and all I can hear now are the angelic backup singers asking "are you living for love?"

I won't be at WFC to buy you a drink, but if there's anything I can do as busy writer support until then... ask away.

If I were going to be at world fantasy I'd happily get you totally shitfaced. And probably myself as well because I'm seriously considering declaring myself an orphan with no family whatsoever and you've earwormed me with that damn Eagles song.

MKK--maybe I'm just a tiny bit hysterical

Somehow yer editors are misunderstanding which aspects of your books are supposed to be fantasy?

BTW, if all your deadlines are for end of October, I can safely inform you of Sapphire & Steel DVDs coming out on Guy Fawkes Day in the UK.

Wow. I think my exhaustion coupled with the previous sentence messed with my brain a little.

I read that as: But right now, I'm going to walk down the plank....

Oh, my. Need more sleep.
