I blogged over at Slash & Burn
Apologies - I need to get better about blogging, but wow, we're busy.
But I DID blog over at Slash and Blurn - about the stories coming up soon. You can still win that Kindle or $115 book certificate, btw. Just pre-order "Counterpunch" (at 20% off, too) at Storm Moon Press's website.
Hot boxers (NOT the underwear) and messed-up men, what's not to love?
I'm just coming to the end of my mandatory two-week break. (As a financial services worker, I'm legally forced to talk ten consecutive working days off - even though I'm not a trader courting burnout, but that's ok). Today, and the weekend, and Monday starts on the early shift - getting up at 5:30 will be a bit of a shock after the habit I've formed recently. Oh well, I'll live.
Autumn is clearly here. I remember, last year at this time I was very nearly burned out of my job (despite all the awesome travelling) and getting ready to go to Chicago. After a weird heat wave last week temperatures have dropped. It's *cold* and crisp now, as nature catches up with the calender. The mind turns towards taking stock - and what is left that needs doing. For me, that's taxes, mostly. A couple ARCs that we need to send out, a humongous interview I need to edit down as much as possible (a 6k interview?? HOLY HELL).
But life's good. So much better than last year. Can't wait for winter.

I don't know why exactly but this made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
Kate - yep, I'm on top of my editing pile - AND got Counterpunch edited, too. Lenore - maybe because I'm happy and productive?
Is that 6k interview for Jessewave? I'd say post most of it and save the tidbits for the commenters. :)
Glad Counterpunch is out the door and on its way to publication. Good job!

Yep. I'm cutting and trimming and trying to not lose too much. It's a bit of a project. :) I'm very glad "Counterpunch" is out of the door - and that "Break and Enter" is fully edited and ready to go. Of my own stuff, I only have "Dark Soul" to do now. Which is doable - the episodic structure really helps.
LOL -- I know all about the shock of the alarm after getting into a "natural" circadian rhythm. Have fun with that! At least you had a couple of weeks to do what YOU want!

You can keep winter. I'm dragging my feet hoping it won't get here. ;)
