PSA: one week until new Leverage!
Jul. 9th, 2009 09:04 amOkay, now that I've gotten the important stuff out of the way in the header...
3,100 new words yesterday, and a short story (magic-urban detective story -- yes, a Danny story!) off to the critique group. This is the first thing they're seeing from me, so when I turn around next time and hit them with the lit-fic nazi elf story, there may be people with whiplash. *grin*
In other news: like many others, I am now in possession of my preliminary WorldCon schedule. Looks pretty good -- there's only one "huh?" panel and I'm moderating that, which is good ((I get to ask the questions, not answer them). I also at the moment have a reading, a signing, and a kaffeklatch. And, yeah, a writing workshop. *sharpens red pencil*
Speaking of red pencils, I also got the 2nd pass proofs for FLESH AND FIRE to go over. Already did a quick check and two major errors that needed to be corrected had been, so yay. One step closer to Real Book! And closing in on the halfway point in book 2, so I'm not quite so freaked as I was a month ago.
[and, for those of you who experienced my temporary OMGOS! moment yesterday -- all is well. In fact, the woman I spoke to was quite amused -- apparently there are people who screw up far worse than i did, and there's a grace period I wasn't even close to missing. *relief* That's one damned thing that's gone right [or at least not imploded miserably] this week. Although I'm not sure if it's reassuring that I'm among the more organized and responsible people in the world, or terrifying... ]

The Eliot one is priceless.
