I spent a lot of September going “Jesus I’m completely overwhelmed how am I going to get everything done I can’t this is horrible” kinds of day, and I just wanted to crawl in a hole and cry. Then I looked at my Thinks To Do list for the month, which…was completely insane. I did So Goddamn Much in September. This is not actually quite everything, I’d forgotten to put things on and I’d not expanded a couple of the dropdowns. No wonder I was freaking out. So that, folks,…
It’s coming up hard on the end of the year & naturally I’m freaking out about everything I haven’t gotten done, WHICH IS WHY I’VE BEEN KEEPING A LIST OF WHAT I *HAVE* GOTTEN DONE I wrote most of DEATH ON THE GREEN and all of DEATH OF AN IRISH MUMMY, the second two books of the Dublin Driver series (launching in January)!

Of course, some of the realism of it requires me getting up to work at 6am, and so far…
January was an excrutiatingly busy month and I don’t actually know how I got this all done, but somehow I did. I: – submitted a manuscript to three publishers – submitted a proposal to a publisher – wrote & delivered an Old Races short story for and delivered a novella to the patreon crew – wrote a 2 page book proposal – wrote a grant application, including a 12 page book proposal – wrote a 10 page book synopsis/proposal – hashed out a film synopsis (still needs work) – got…
