To-Do

[rolanni]

1. Finish laundry
2. Do dishes
3. Outline Tuesday presentation
4. Write 50,000 words of Ghost Ship
5. Locate a space where there are no professors banging pots in my head and outline:
5a. contemporary ghost story I've been trying to get to since January
5b. new novel series

...yeah, I did the easy stuff yesterday.


Edited to add: In fact, I did not write 50,000 words of Ghost Ship today. I trust this surprises no one.

Anybody got a winning lottery ticket they'd like to give me?

I did think that writing half a novel in a day might be a little, how should I put it, ambitious? *g* (Did you actually manage to get any writing done? If so, that's better than none...)

(Only a fortnight to Mouse and Dragon release! That's if Amazon UK actually have the date right...)

I did manage to get a bridge scene written and to sharpen an already existing scene that need some zap!

Eggselent. Our Goal, of course, is to sell out the warehouse on the first pass again...

Hmm, nice ambiguity there ("a bridge scene" could be a bridge between passages of writing or in this case a scene on the bridge of a ship).

If you do sell out again it will be very good. Perhaps I should put in an extra order to help it to happen, although that may happen anyway if Amazon have supply problems as happened with Fledgling and I buy it from another store as well. (Presumably if you keep selling out Baen will increase the first runs of your books, which would not be bad either.)
