Been Up for Hours
...so, OK, forty-five minutes.
Thirty-four degrees F (1C) at the moment, looking for the mid-fifties. I'll be spending the Heat of the Day(tm) in a windowless room flash-learning the new!improved! computer system. Rumor says we'll be ready to rumble on Thursday. Rumor may be an optimist.
The galleys for the mass market edition of Crystal Soldier are two-thirds done. My mission after work is to finish, so they can be sent back to Ace. And last evening mine editor at the local paper shot me a lead for a story that he'd like RSN. Hopefully, I'll have my schedule by the end of the day so I can call the folks in question and make an appointment that doesn't require me to be in two places at once.
After the galleys, I need to re-read and revise "Prodigal Son." No clue how extensive the revisions may be, since I have only the very foggiest memory of the story. No, it hasn't been years since I wrote the draft; but first drafts usually feel...distant -- like they've been written by someone else. I remember doing the physical writing but the fruits are often foggy.
Hmm. *rereads last sentence* Definitely time for coffee.
See you on the flipside.
