Loose ends at the week’s end

Posted on | 3 years, 7 months ago, around lunchtime | No Comments

Late last night Team Seattle sent up the BatSignal (as Ellen put it); so, having unexpectedly finished up some work, I jaunted over to Fremont for shenanigans with Kat and Richelle. I finally staggered home around midnight, dropped into bed, and was awakened at 6:30 this morning when a very large delivery truck of some variety got stuck on the street outside my window. The driver kept trying to back it up, then pull it forward, then back it up, and pull it forward. And I understand his difficulty — hell, that street is barely wide enough to accommodate my Sentra; I sure as heck wouldn’t want to navigate it in anything larger.

But eventually I got sick of the BEEP BEEP BEEP WARNING WARNING THIS VEHICLE IS BACKING UP BEEP BEEP BEEP and I gave up, and got out of bed to get some work done.

So yes, though I haven’t been talking about it much lately, I’m still working — which is to say, I’m still writing. In the last month I’ve wrapped up sample content for three new projects and sent them towards my editor (bless her heart), and a couple of weeks ago I began working feverishly on a cheesy idea for a young adult title. I’ve got about 22,000 words on it for sample content purposes, but I’m going to set it aside now and let it cool off for a bit.

This brings my yearly fiction word-count to …





Next up, after I pull together a synopsis and/or outline for this YA thing, I’m going to start setting up another book which I shall tentatively abbreviate TEOW. I don’t have any real work done on this one yet, just a bunch of notes cobbled together. But I’m very excited about it, and I think it’ll make a great story once I can give it my full attention.

But for now, yes. I have errands to run and a week’s worth of noodling to wrap up. Have a good weekend everyone, and I’ll see you here later.
