ReThings and ReThinks

[lagilman]

So, yesterday's "get stuff off your plate" shame-listing worked pretty well. All but 1.5 things were done and dusted, and the remaining 1.5 are underway. So, yay me.

(shame is not something I recommend, but you use the self-motivational tools that work)

And part of why things didn't get done yesterday is that the contract for the new Devil's West books arrived, and I took the night to go over that with a fine-tooth comb (and a few glasses of wine). At one point, I may or may not have been reading relevant bits out loud, because some of that Legalese really calls out for a Radio Announcer Voice.

And it made me wonder if people are up for a post about Contracts and Creatives and the love-hate professional relationship between them?

Anyway, today's all about getting those last bits done, then plowing back into the writing. Yay, writing!

Contract post? Hell, yeah! Particularly if it includes pointing and laughing. In a rueful sort of way.

Contract post? Oooh yeah. Contracts are their own design of creativity.

Add my voice to those advocating for the contracts post. I'd dearly love to have something to point to when people assert either that they can't bother themselves with All Those Details, when they chime in about Evil Publishing, or when they genuinely have no idea what they need to know or why.

Yeah, they're up for it. Would appreciate it, in fact.
