Too much work, a sale, an interview, and more fun stuff...

Jan 13, 2009 23:25

Today's been a day of ups and downs, and as you can tell by the time-stamp on this, it's turning into a very long day. I was trapped away from the computer by two freelance editing projects (both of which I finished, so if you're looking for a freelance editor, I have some time). During that time, however, I gave a twenty-minute phone interview with a reporter from the Deseret News. I think she said the piece is scheduled to run this Sunday. We talked (naturally) about my book and the Presidents and President-elect Obama. If anyone reading this actually reads that paper (it's in Utah), do please look through it and save the piece if you see it. By the time I finally got on-line, much later in the day than usual, my e-mail in-boxes were all full and crying for attention. There was an urgent "oops" for SFScope (not an oops on my part: a press release about this year's Philip K. Dick Award nominees was sent out before the jury realized one of the nominees was ineligible, so this was a correction to that). And lurking in my personal in-box was a note from the New York Daily News with edits for an Op-Ed piece I wrote which should be running on Friday. For this one, I'll probably be able to pick up a copy myself.

Now I have to get to today's usual work, and try to get it done before I try to start on tomorrow's. Oh, and somewhere in there, I'm hoping to get some sleep (it wouldn't do to let myself get run-down in the next few days, since I'll be spending this weekend in the cold and crowds of Arisia.
