My right shoulder, from behind the shoulder blade, down through the ulnar nerve and into my pinky, is starting to ache. This is the most annoying and uncomfortable of the signs that Catie Has Been At The Laptop Too Much, and it’s compounded right now by sleeping funny a couple days ago and giving myself a stiff neck. I have, through several years of trial and error, learned to mitigate this as much as possible. The best way to do so is to work at a table, but after four…

I will *not*…
I will *not* be taking a nap today, no matter how tired I get at 10:30 this morning. Not after the combination of yesterday’s nap and talking with Spidey and my brain whirling and whirling and whirling kept me up until after 2am.

I will also not work on script rewrites except maybe at mealtimes, which are not allowed to stretch to two hours so I can…

I got about 60 pages done, up to page 250 (well, 247, close enough), with one entirely new chapter that replaces the old one that just wouldn’t work.

I hope. I need to work at…
nrrgh.
I have got the particularly huge sleepies today. Possibly because I stayed up til 1am for some silly reason. But it is not good for revisions to have such huge sleepies. I may cut myself some slack and do only fifty pages today, and take a nap. Or something. I don’t know. I really should do a hundred. Well, all right. I started on page 191 this morning. I will get to at least page 250 today. I may nap as well, and I think I must go to the…

And the winner is… Now, this guy emailed me after I’d already narrowed my field down to seven or eight artists and was talking to them about the possibility of doing page roughs at a cut rate. I got his sample pages he sent and there was a lot of, “Jesus wept,” going on in my head, because I loved his style beyond words, but I was afraid I was already stretching myself awfully thin with audition costs. But I liked what I saw so much I had to write…
