I don’t know why, but it’s been a long week. But the proposal for the fifth Walker Papers is turned in, and I’ve given up on NNWM. I’m going to write the Morrigan short story next week, and if I get done with that before the end of the week I’ll go back to NNWM and do as much as I can, but copy edits for PRETENDER’S CROWN are due in, and Dublin City Comic Con is next weekend, assuming I get paid.

ducks rowed
– emailed DCCC – emailed FPI – emailed letterer – emailed new artist – arranged covers for Chance 4 & 5 – responded to interview request Not *all* of that was this morning, but most of those were hanging over my head and have finally been dealt with. Now all that’s left is: – finish revisions – finish WP#5 proposal – email *more* to FPI – write Morrigan short story – read & comment on other short story – catch up on NNWM (ahahahahah)
