Ok, so it looks like I *am* going to go into Dublin tomorrow afternoon for the Neil Gaiman thing at Eason’s. I’ll probably get into town around 3pm, as I want to go to Chapters and sign books and chat, and to swing by Sub City, so…anybody up for an early (and cheap) dinner? I’m looking forward to seeing some people, one way or another. And then I’m going to spend the entirety of November (excepting Dublin Comic Con) with my head down and my nose to the grindstone, because…

if I had been smart…
If I’d been smart, I’d have taken the “a few more loose ends to tie up” secondary revision letter from Betsy as a sign that I should work, and not go to Octocon this weekend. I’m glad I *did* go, you understand; it was a pleasant weekend and I got to hang out with people I like, but unquestionably in terms of Getting Stuff Done it was not the smart choice.

On the other hand, I know what I’ll be doing with my evening. :) Yesterday’s…

This means the remainder of the day will be spent: – making sure it’s the right one and fits and works – getting paper so I have enough to print out the PRETENDER’S CROWN behemoth manuscript – clinging to patience as I print the behemoth Fail to cling to patience based on PRINTING THE WRONG FRAKKING VERSION – going to yoga class my bad, no yoga tonight – wondering why the hell the book isn’t done printing yet – swearing at the damned book which…
before I got distracted…
Before I got distracted with my bitching political post, I’d intended to try to corral my thinks what need doing this week/rest of the month/into October.
