lagilmanI needed this rather badly this week.... http://doodlealley.com/2012/10/10/be-friends-with-failure/
This morning I have:
So of course, I feel like I have accomplished NOTHING because nothing in that list is finished and/or finite (or bringing in an immediate paycheck). Dear brain: you suck.
On the plus side, a client has promised that their (late) mss will hit my desk this afternoon, so I can get it line edited and back to her by Monday. So there will be finite, finished, income-producing work to come. Take that, brain.
EtA: ended up spending much of the afternoon at the local USPS, trying to find out what happened to the certified letter they have allegedly been trying (and failing) to get to me for two weeks now. Even talking to a supervisor what I'm getting is 'well... we need to talk to the carrier who isn't here right now and see if he knows anything...' Because their ability to track something that needs to be signed for is...lacking. *headdesks* Four 'sorry we missed you' cards, three supervisors, two weeks waiting, and a certified letter gone bye-bye...
And no sign of the promised manuscript by 3pm. Manuscript has landed. There's my weekend sorted, then.
This morning I have:
- written up requested material for an editor, and sent it off via Agent
- done another pass on the #willrite2feedothers story, and sent it off to beta-reader
- talked with my mother on the phone and caught her up on Things/been caught up on Things
- started laundry
- promoted WorldBuilders 2013 and my own part in it.
