The Calm Before the Storm

It’s the weekend before New Year’s and I’m (you probably guessed it) writing and revising and rinse and repeat. Right now, I’m in the post-holiday crunch (as my friend Jim Zubkavich pointed out on Twitter). I’ve mentioned this before, but when you freelance either part-time or full-time, there’s no end to what you need to do because your hours aren’t regular like a 9 to 5 job. Or, to put it simpler, deadlines rule my life. HAH!

Just got back from sunny California where I spent most of the holidays. Love! About three degrees here on Monday. NOT LOVE! Annnnnd… I’m behind on pictures. Fail. But? I’ve got about 250,000 words on my desk of Firefly-related material. To me, that’s a solid “win.”

What’s nice about this time of year is the quiet. It really is the calm before the storm for me. As soon as January hits, it’ll be non-stop craziness — and I’m so ready for it. 2014 is going to be very exciting!
