A rather chaotic week, but also a productive one, so yay!
Demand Media is back in action, though I wasn’t putting in my usual hours: They have a smaller specialty project going which pays more but requires interviewing professionals for quotes. So more work but worth it. So happily I am once again earning money to put in our coffers.
•I put in 12 hours work on Southern Discomfort, getting past the sticking point from last month. It’s still rather rough going as I try to build to the big finish. For one thing, while I know Gwalchmai’s vulnerability, I haven’t any logical way yet to figure out how Maria and the other good guys figure out what it is. Hopefully it’ll come to me next week.
•I sent A Many Splendored Thing, And He Bought a Crooked Cat and The Savage Year off to new markets. I also got Fiddler’s Black back, but it’ll be out again soon.
•I got several movies watched for my time-travel book, though with Demand now paying for my services again, I didn’t get as much done as I’d have liked.
•I double-checked on a new nonfiction assignment I hadn’t heard back from. The editor explained she’s just busy and she’ll have the details out to me this weekend or Monday.
It was things like wondering if I’d hear on the nonfiction and trying to find interviewees for Demand that made me unsure how to budget my time. But the nice thing about the movie book is that if all else fails, I can always put a DVD in and start taking notes.
