*laughs out loud* My interview with Dragonpage is online and available to listen to now! But the front page at Dragonpage says, “Interview with David Eddings & C.E. Murphy”, which is much, *much* cooler than the actual truth, which is that there are interviews with David Eddings and C.E. Murphy, not a single interview in which we are both interviewed. *laughs more* (My bit of the interview starts at the 28 minute mark, FWIW.) I made some hot chocolate, and that perked me right up, and now I’ve finished my…

listless
Listless this morning. I went to bed too early, or too late, depending on how you look at it, but either way I was in the midst of REM sleep when the alarm went off, so I’ve never quite woken up properly yet today. I’m not tired enough to go back to bed, just tired enough to not be exactly functional. Plodding along with the writing. I’m on a Morrison scene right now, and those can be hard when they’re not yelling at each other, so instead of doing much…

4200 words this morning, and a possibility of a few hours of contract work a week doing web stuff this afternoon. That would be nice: just enough to give me a total change of pace for a couple hours a day. We’ll see if it pans out. Between Ted and I, some laundry’s gotten done. Made some bread.

Let’s see if I remember how to do the lj cut. Tired of the “getting to know you” surveys written by high school students? This one was devised by honest to goodness adults (20 and 30-somethings). Fill in your answers and spread the insanity in whatever manner you see fit. Do you have a job or a career? Career. What is your job title? Famous writer. Have you ever been fired? Yes. Well, laid off, which amounts to the same thing. Twice. What was your worst work experience? Well, the…
learning curve
The bad news is I’ve just cut like a chapter and a half from my manuscript. The good news is I decided what the problem was this morning or yesterday, can’t remember which exactly, and instead of dithering for three weeks over whether to leave it or cut it, and therefore getting nothing done for all that time, I recognized the problem and am fixing it immediately. This, my friends, is what is called the learning curve. :) It’s a pity, because I like the stuff I’m cutting, but odds…
