mid-week re-counting

[lagilman]

The planned Friday check-ins are clearly going to be more random than that, because this is turning into the Summer of Being Social (and traveling) but here's where things stand:

The Vineart War, Book 1. Due 15 December 2008

43,000 / 100,000 (43.0%)

Plan is to get to 50,000 by Friday, despite Other Distractions. For the first time in my career, I'm looking at the estimated word count and thinking "yep, gonna overrun that..." (and then I will go back and ruthlessly prune everything Not Needed. For now, I'm assuming it's All Needed)

Somewhere in there of course I also have to work on another project that I've figured out how to fix, and take care of some Life Stuff, and buy some food for the cats, and... laundry. Yeah, really need to do laundry.

And don't forget that you can help out, by adding to the FAQ!

Would you like me to post a link to your FAQ request on LUNA and eHQ?

Re: FAQ

[lagilman]

s’il vous plaît et merci.

(I should get back over to the Luna board but it's just One More Thing on the to-do list.... eeep!)

Is done for the eHQ boards, but I couldn't find your thread on LUNA. It must have auto-archived. I emailed Sapphire about getting the link posted, so it should be up in a couple of days.

Did you see this?

I signed up a week ago (although, alas - they do not deliver to South Carolina) his emails are very fun reading, and very inspiring, I think...

Crap, for all I know, I found out about this from your blog, although I'm pretty sure not. But it was an LJ, so, anyway, just in case...

Blergh, I'm going now.

I hadn't heard, so thanks for the link. It sounds interesting but a little... exhausting to me, right now. Over the years I've had so many people talk about THE hot new varietal/location/style (many of them very good) I just can't take it seriously when someone promises to only have the hottest, newest news and bottles nobody else has.

As a trend-chaser, I'm just crap.

I didn't think of it like that - the way he writes about the actual wine is what I liked about it - it could be an exhausting amount of email though, so far, I'm just enjoying it.
