Vacation is over. I’m supposed to be going back to work today. So far I’ve turned the heat on in my office. I’m thinking of following it up by making a desktop background with all my book and comic covers. As inspiration, see. thinks to do: – email the comic team with deadline information – respond to matrice’s emails – write for an hour – go for a walk

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…

However, that compared to the last one is…there’s no comparison. o.o I’ve no doubt made the Horrible Sleepies worse by doing…
almost there.
I have finished everything except the epilogue and the rewrite of the prologue. The book is currently weighing in at 176,400 words, and I expect the epilogue will be around 3K, as will be the rewritten prologue (the original of which is included in the book’s wordcount, so it, at least, won’t add more to the book). My plan: write the epilogue tomorrow morning, then do AAs on HoF all afternoon and into the evening, and then on Thursday rewrite the prologue and finish the AAs. Fixing manuscript notes, doing…
