Finally back into the swing of things
It's well and truly into January and the start of 2010. Whilst I did work on Twelfth Planet Press projects over my Xmas/New Year break, a bunch of personal stuff happened in the first week of this year that meant I was too tired and too busy to get properly stuck into the massive to do list.
Yesterday I finally made the realisation that I may never catch up on my sleep and I might just have to grab the editing by the horns and jump on the beast. And funnily enough, as I started to wade in and make a little progress, the mind fog lifted and I found myself feeling like I was getting somewhere and feeling like my brain was once again engaged. Number 1 rule for breaking the negative mindset - find one easy task to do and complete. Then find another.
So, yesterday I managed to approve and sign off on two new ads, make some enquiries about moving web server host, sold out the last copies of Horn, provided feedback on a Sprawl submission, sent receipts to some novelette submissions, entered some TPP sales into the finance spreadsheet and proofed one of the stories for Shiny 6.
Onwards and upwards.
