Aren't you terrified of waking up too tired to try again?
(backdated; found on USB about a year after the fact)
The original plan was to take December off, goof around with writing fanfic or whatever took my fancy, and then get back to Lightning Strikes Twice. Technology and other issues put paid to that, and I ended up not writing at all for most of December. So then January was supposed to be my goofing-off month -- and I did noodle around a bit with fanfic and such. But I also had this idea of starting a new series, and writing the first story in January -- which I mostly did, putting the finishing pre-beta touches on "Dix Dayton, Jet Jockey" only one day into the next month. Only now it's February, and the deal with taking January to goof off was that I would start cracking on LST again in February. And I'm still scrambling around with half-assed technology, and a non-writing project that's eating all my spare time and badly needs more, and the last-gasp push on querying Highway of Mirrors that somehow was also supposed to get done in January and is... only half so, and I am in no headspace to dive back into LST even if it is at a much-reduced pace from NaNo's.
Somehow, this month, I need to:
-reactivate LST
-finish querying HoM
-sub one|more short stories
-write another short story, no wait, two short stories (I still owe somebody one from May)
-do something about the writing laptop situation
-do enough stuff for the non-writing project to qualify as a full-time job if I were getting paid
Let's all sing the Doom Song now, shall we?
