Flyin' the Flag o' Doom in Editorial Waters....

Today begins five days of Intensive Writing Toward Deadline. If y'all don't see/hear from me for a while, don't panic. Just slide food and rude jokes under the door, and occasionally remind me to stop and stretch...

Six thousand words! Wowsers! Very impressive!

Good luck.

You can do it!

Ah no sweat, you're an ol' pro. That image wasn't sent by the editor was it? That would be daunting.

I'd slide some chocolate under the door for you, but it'd probably get cat hair all over it. :) Seriously, though; let me know if you want me to pick up any writing comfort noshables.

Go get 'em, bebe. I've got your back; I have 45k words to write between now and 15 November. If you have any chocolate left over, pass it on.

I won't even say how many words I have to translate until the end of the month. Let's just say... a lot. A scary lot. If my publisher/editor were to fly that flag at the top of your post, it would be well within his rights to do so.

Good luck to you on your quest, as I embark on mine.

There's nothing else to say, madam -- we're not worthy!

Head down, bum up, slog slog slog ...

I currently have a personally imposed deadline, which isn't anywhere near as painful. But my copy edit of bk 2 is coming back late, but the deadline back to editor isn't changing, so in a couple of weeks I shall be sharing your pain ...

Go you. You can do it!

If it makes you feel any better, I don't expect to hit the goal. It's just my holy grail lit in the tower window.



Er. Bad reference, considering what I'm working on. Back to work I go...

Love the flag!
Hope you're doing well repelling boarders ... and that's about as far as I can stretch a pirate analogy. Sorry. :-)
