my iTunes is borked, there are too many crazy-stupid people walking around free, I'm running on way too little sleep, and I'm stuck on the scene I really wanted to work on.
So I made a few icon-shaped objects instead.

karenmiller since WFC in Austin, so was good to connect again for lunch (melon and herb soup, and spinach gnocchi with sweet corn, extremely yum) while she's in the city, and neep about things professional and otherwise. And then I was an evil enabling woman and led her to The Strand, where I found a $60 reference book I'd been faunching over a few days ago in a previous edition for $30, plus some other things that will be very useful, and Karen rang up a massive pile o' books that would get shipped home for her. And the economy shall be sending us thank-you notes.
Then I came home and am currently hammering out a few more hours of work. At this point, there are fifteen chapters solidly written, and three in rough format, and another five or so chapters yet to be drafted off the detailed outline. Right now, in the latter half of the book, there' a lot of "get this detail" and "go back and change this to match later events, you moron," but I feel like I have unofficially Achieved Goal, which was to be in exactly this spot of "I need on-site research before I can go further" with the book.
In celebration, a new icon, made for me for my birfday by the fabulousnycdeb. *squee!*
The week after I return is going to involve a full manuscript printout, and scribbling, and cut-and-pasting from my research journal....
The Vineart War, Book 1. Due 15 December 2008
Shoved between all the rest (and packing!) I'm working on the detailed outline for BONNIE #2: PACK OF LIES, due 1 September (or, y'know, soon as I'm back in time zone again). Book itself isn't due until May 2009, but those deadlines have a pesky way of sneaking up faster than time should move, tricksy bastids. Best to be pr'pared...

In case anyone is interested, not only is there the general-support icon, but traciepwns has made a number that are show- and fandom-specific...
ETA: Heeeeee!
(of course, I say that now. If someone were to offer my agent beaucoup bucks? I might be tempted. Not saying I'd accept, mind you, but I would be tempted...)

Oh P.B., how I do love you. Now get back into sidekick role, damn it.
