too! many! projects!

I have too many pending projects. I can’t figure out what to work on. Woe! WOE! Perhaps I’ll list them and throw a dart. :) – Billy Holliday short story – Suzanne Quinley short story – Bryant’s short story – other Walker Papers short story – Daisani AFTERMATH story – another AFTERMATH story – HEAVEN CAN WAIT proposal – LEGION chapter – retold Alaskan origin story …ok, the (or a) problem here is I’m nominally finishing all of that this month.

When I’m finished with these, I’m going to ask the good people at Subterranean Press how many sheets there *actually* are, to cover for those mucked up in the print process, but I’ve theoretically signed my name 500 times now: My favorites are the ones like these, where the ink has suddenly splotched a lot more onto the paper than it was expected to. Most of them don’t dry attractively, sadly, but I like them anyway, ’cause you know it’s a real ink pen being used to sign ’em. :)…
