Getting Organized

Too much sleep today and I’m awake now. How ironic!

Thought I would use the time to read the Drollerie contract, which looks fine to me. I am going to have to register my first copyright, so more to learn.

I also thought I’d get creatively organized and see what I have lined up. Let’s go!

Revise Substance and resubmit to Agent A: by February 15th
Revise Vince and Abby story for Apex and Abyss: by February 29th
Revise Mistoreth’s Eyesfor Strange Horizons: by March 15th
Crest of Stars Costumes: by March 30th

Finish comparative teaching English in Japan and US Paper: by April 18th
Write Feminism in The Master and Margarita Paper: Pending acceptance, by May 20th
Prepare multi-media reading for Wiscon: by May 20th
Write Neville Longbottom and the Heroic Journey: Pending acceptance, by June 15th
Prepare Costuming Panel: Pending acceptance, by June 15th
Beauxbatons Costume: by June 15th

Begin Hulk Hercules: Professional Wrestler: Pending signing of contract, by October

Continue to submit Substance to other agents: Ongoing
Website Tinkering and Repair: Ongoing
Working with editor on Sister Night, Sister Moon: Ongoing pending editor changes, suggestions, and communications.

Well, looks like I know kind of what’ll be going on through the end of March. My vision from April on is a little less definite, but these are pretty good predictions.

Thank goodness I only have one gall bladder they can take out! I really need my time, and I need to get crackin’!

Wish me luck. But remind me I can’t wear all these three creative hats at once.

Paper Proposals

Students testing in front of me…so I must be back at work! But only for today!

And in preparation for Gall Bladder Liberation Day, it’s going to be pretty much school work and lesson plans, but here at Writer Tamago I wanted to add that I’ll be sending off an academic proposal to Wiscon about Margarita in Master and Margarita (deadline=Monday. Today, last really lucid day for a while) and another paper about either self sacrifice or about Neville Longbottom and the Hero’s Journey (because the last thing we need is another Harry Potter and the Hero’s Journey) for Portus.

Because part of the shell around the chick is an academic egg.

When I come out of the coma on Sunday, I’ll be trying to get back to a writing schedule. I have some papers to check next week, yeah, but if I can get comfortable and get my head together next week, I have a little enforced vacation of writing just waiting to happen.

However, I can be zen and heal if I have to. I’ve been making as much progress as possible, consider the demon in my belly.

Every time I say something like this, I am fated to post again, but even so, I’ll let you all know when I have crossed the River Styx, journeyed through Hades, and passed on through to the other side. Hope the spirits don’t want to drink too much of my blood, because I’m not too interested in talking to most of them. Except I might stay a while to pet Toby and Michael.

I hope your pens are fertile, and I’ll see you on the other side, emerging like a phoenix from the carnage ashes.
