thinks to do, thinks to do

Boy, have a girl finish up 300+K words in early August and finish four years worth of intense writing schedule and she just feels all light and floaty and cheerful about the world! Imagine that! So, let’s see, what do I have to do now? – do my revisions on CAULDRON – spellcheck it – turn it *in* – write the WENDEGO HUNTS proposal, & I might as well come up with a new title for it right then, ’cause they don’t like that one – write the IMPERATOR’S HEIR…

I had at least two more things to put on…
