Friday Five (aka, "Yes, I'm Still Alive")
1) So... my grand plans to continue to blog semi-daily (every 2 or so days) aren't going so well. I blame BEDA. Or my read-through. One or the other. But I'm hoping to have new, exciting topics (or at least, uh, topics) soonish. I've got a list going, honest. I just have to find the motivation to think about them before posting! Better content, that is the goal...
2) About that read-through... It's making me paranoid. I need to let it go. No more changes unless/until I am asked for some! (Or if all my betas get back to me with "WTF was that mess?")
3) It's good that I have another revision to dive into whilst polishing up & sending out queries, or I'd be totally nuts. That's right, in the next day or so (or hour or so, depending on how bored I get), I'm pulling out W&F1 and gleefully inserting Phillip into the front half of the book. Which means total destruction/reconstruction of a few chapters. Can't wait!!! (Seriously, I'm excited. There might be something wrong with me...)
4) This does not mean I'm going to totally ignore Mordagrin. It's on the "get writing" list. I just want to have a non-Arion-related finished&done manuscript ready to go. But since Arion likes to stand around poking me to get a move on already with his story, I'm sure sequel will move forward at a decent pace.
5) Graduation is approaching much faster than I would like. And I'm sure this speediness is directly related to the fact that my mother is coming & my house is a wreck & I feel kinda crappy & don't want to clean. Urgh! But I did manage to clean off (most of) my desk for the first time in months (so that's where my planner went!). Of course, now the bed behind me is covered in random crap... Hmmm... This might be a problem.
