Well, I guess I'm still alive

I've been feeling guilty for ignoring this lj so long. Unfortunately, the guilt is going to have to grow. I've been keeping SFScope running, and though it feels like I'm working in a vacuum over there, occasionally I'll check the usage logs, and the numbers keep going up (slowly, but in the correct direction), so I feel better about it. I'm also editing for a couple of author-clients: I'm in the middle of one book, with another anxiously awaiting my attention. And then there's the writing: I was going pretty well on some fiction a while back, until I talked with my agent and he asked when he might expect the manuscript for the companion volume to The Presidential Book of Lists, so I've once again stopped writing fiction, and I'm working on the book. It's going pretty well, but I keep surprising myself by writing more prose chapters (as opposed to the straight lists that are in the first book). I'll just keep doing each chapter as it calls to me, and when it's done, I'll see if I have to wrench it around. And then, in my copious free time, there's another new gig, which I'll be mentioning on SFScope in the next day or two.

I did take time out to watch the tape of the Battlestar Galactica finale, and I was as disappointed as so many other opinions I've been seeing on the net, so there's no reason to go into it here. I've also got a DVD of the one-hour premiere of a new Comedy Central series-Krod Mandoon and the Flaming Sword of Fire-waiting for me, and I'm hoping to get a chance to watch it before it actually debuts (on 9 April, I think). Oh, and there's a seder looming Wednesday, with the concurrent visit by the sister, nephew, and niece, so that'll be a time-sink, too.

So, how's with you?
