I had this glorious idea that I’d get the WALKING DEAD revisions done this week. I believe the phrase I am now searching for is “bahahahahah”. I shouldn’t have any problem getting them done by the end of the month as long as I get at least one read-through done this week, but I had such hopes for getting not only the revisions, but also the Morrigan Press short story, a Chance script, and the first Mia chapter/script also done this month, so that my plate would be Totally Clear…
