I'm singing my usual Friday refrain this morning: "I'm already behind, I'm already behind."
It's been a full week, a fun week, a productive week, and yet, it always feels like it's not been productive enough. Ever get that feeling?
Here's a quick point by point recap:
Work writing/editing: I have fifteen pieces to share with you this morning on a wide variety of topics. Scroll through the links, choose the ones that interest you. Of course, i hope they all interest you...
Projects: Phyllis' memoir is officially signed, sealed and delivered.
I have one last chapter to edit in the second round of a non-fiction project for one client, which I hope to finish later today.
A good friend/partner in writing "stuff," is giving another client's novel a read to catch any lingering errors I might have missed (after three rounds of editing, I'm typo blind).
Two more clients are working on their last rounds of edits.
Fiction: I'm hoping to finish Lycanthropic Summer tomorrow so I can give it a good read next Thursday (I'm off because I'm working the weekend). Then off to editing it goes!
I also hope to make good progress on Cornell Dyer and the Old Folks Home tonight.
What about The Phoenix? I have a week of later vacation this month that I've turned into an in-home writing retreat (the first of two for this year). Since I can't go to Raleigh, I'll go to Munsonville.
Aaaaaand: Working on the fourth anthology for WriteOn Joliet.
Have a wonderful Friday: readers, writers, and BryonySeries fans.
