Post-deadline funk
You should know that I'm not much of an adrenaline junky. I don't like going fast. I don't like scary movies. I like my adventures to be held around a table with dice, or contained on the printed page. But all that said--adrenaline is a darn useful thing. It seems to have kept me going right up through my deadlines over the weekend.
And then, of course, I crashed and burned. Deep coughing in the chest. General misery. I spent most of Tuesday watching rerun sitcoms, which is always an indication to me of just how much my brain is able to process.
So now that my brain seems to be back on my shoulders, here I am back in the blogosphere. On the writing front, Arielle and I changed the date for my deadline, so that *tomorrow* will be my first foray into ongoing fiction deadlines. I'm hoping to touch up some work today that I can send her for initial thoughts.
To test my ability to learn something new, I'm also borrowing a page (actually, some code) from jimhines. He had a great footer on his blog, and I'm going to see if I can adjust it to what I'm up to. We'll see how it comes out.
Edit: Three tries before success--not too bad!
Edit: *sheepish* Actually, that required a fourth try, as there are two places to change the title of the piece in the code--and I missed the obvious one that showed up. Thanks to jimhines and jpsorrow for the correction!
