lagilmanThings underway:
- the story that's due next week that is cutting a smidge close to older emotional bones
- The Vineart War #3, which has decided it's ready to come out and play now, and BTW time to do some research on difficult-to-find stuff, okthnxbai...
Things simmering:
- the story that's due in two weeks where I have only an outline and a hope.
- revisions to a short story due at the end of the month.
- the next in the "having an agent" essays for the Liberty State Writers newsletter.
- my lectures for Odyssey.
- the fact that I have Travel coming up [Nebs, Balticon, BEA] and I haven't really prepped for it at all.
- the new proposal that wants to come out and play NOW, please.
- having Joel the Contractor run up specs for the much-needed bathroom overhaul [yes, same guy who did my kitchen, and my parents' kitchen, and their bathroom... J is considered a Family Treasure].
- reworking a project for a small press, TBA later...
- waiting on the new batch of submissions to read, while also waiting on revisions to come in for me to line edit...
Um. And a few other Needful Life Things that need dealing with. *facepalms, gets more coffee*
So, what's everyone else finding on their Merrie Month of May to-do list?
