…I would like to have: – replaced the carpet in the living room – painted the living room – bought a new computer desk – bought a new computer chair – bought a new printer – gotten doors on the shelves in the kitchen You know. Aside from the 37 writing projects on the plate. But I’m taking those bird by bird, god damn it, because anything else freaks me out.
sudden epiphany!
So I was thinking about the Old Races Short Story Project, and about the fact that if they’re ever collected into a book I clearly need to write at least one story to go before the chronologically-first one I have now, because it’s pretty sad. But it’s also fairly early in terms of Old Races history, so I was trying to think of stuff that would come before, and suddenly I had an Epiphany! about the origin of the Old Races. And I could not come home and write that…
back to the daily grind
thinks to do by nov 15: – the first Gary short story – approximately 25K on the Ilialiad (hey, I’m only 10.5K behind o.O) – chapter 2 of ElectriCity (ahahahaha) – get the Dublin calendar sorted (that’s here, if you want to buy one real quick before I get the orders in. realistically I’ll get ’em in Friday, so you have til about midnight Thursday) I also need to mail stuff to a few people. Probably not today, but I can finish getting the stuff packed up to mail, anyway.…
I think that went well.
The “No Dominion” campaign was successfully funded about four hours ago. Sorry it’s taken me so long to get this update out. The baby was so excited by Mama’s antics he couldn’t eat. :) I love the way I said that: “successfully funded”, all casual-like. What I really mean is OH MY HOLY LIVING BEANS, $20,635?!?!!?!??! *520 backers?!?!* You guys cracked the third novella! And the “Gosh, I guess I’m singing for my supper!” level! Oh my, I say, oh my. O.O *laughs* No, really, that’s going to be fun.…
this is preposterous, she said weakly
“No Dominion” is less than $1400 from $20K. Not only do I write a third novella if it breaks 20K, but I *laughs* *clears throat* I do a video recording of me singing “The Wind Beneath My Wings” for the patron list. Also, the campaign has just hit 487 backers, 300 more than any previous crowdfunding attempt. This is preposterous. It’s wonderful. It’s amazing. It’s exciting. But it’s preposterous. I have the most incredibly wonderful readers *ever*!
