When do we get that six-month beach holiday?

[lagilman]

when we stop selling books.

Um.

As a plan? That plan sucks.

We clearly need to work on this somehow...

[lagilman]

So long as we keep working...

(I'd be insane after more than a week off, anyway, and you'd be even worse)

Not so much, really. I badly need the down time. The two weeks I took off in March did not incline me at all to get back to work.

You've been doing the full-out run thing longer than I have... it may take you longer to recover. I'm going to try and let you be a lesson to me...

Do that. I will take pictures of my squishy brain, if that'll help. :)

oooooooo.... that's a long list.

Wow!

I think of myself as a "fast" writer, and I have to plan and work like crazy to get two novels a year done on time--in my defense, the Noble Dead books are pretty daunting.

But wow! I don't know how you do this.

[lagilman]

I don't know how you do this.

Jury's still out if I can
