Random things

-- So I'm in training for another plan for the next two weeks, which isn't really all that bad -- the trainer's cool, and sitting through training every day is better than real work -- except that today the other woman in the class who works in returned mail with me asked if we were going to have to sit out on the call floor and take inbound calls after training and the trainer wouldn't rule it out. Damn it, I haaaaaate taking calls. It's the one part of the job I loathe above everything else ... when we get thrown on the phones to talk to customers. Ugh.

-- I'm in Panera with my editing copy of Heroine Addiction and I don't plan on leaving until I get two chapters edited. Shouldn't take long, really, since I'm going over the chapters I already edited again just for safety's sake.

-- Speaking of writing, I posted a post-"Swan Song" fic this morning that I wrote in about twenty minutes. Four fics in three weeks? Dear writer's block -- never leave me again.

-- ... er, that's about it, really.

"What's in this little hemp bag, Mommy? It smells like crack!"

Yeah, I got the cat a catnip toy. I'll never see him again.

Anyway, status of the writer:

-- I'm trying not to fry my brain by staying up too late considering I have to set my alarm for 5:30 if I want to get to work by 8:30, which means I won't get much farther in editing Heroine Addiction. As long as I finish a chapter today, though, I'll be good. The good thing is that there's not much to the edit. Hacking pieces from it made it a lot more manageable.

-- Speaking of hacking pieces off of a story, The Grand Prize Winner is going to need me to hack off something like 35k. I might as well just go at it with an ax, but I think at this point I'm not afraid as much to knock it into submission. (Why does every description of my editing process sound like the severe beating of a urban fantasy novel?)

-- Fic! 'Cause there will be some. I need to get the Heroine Addiction edit underway and then it's on the "Swan Song" crack. Woohoo!

-- Oh, and there's my vampirebigbang and werewolfbigbang fics, neither of which I've even started yet.

-- I have to plot, like, five or six different novels. Urgh. Now would be a really nice time to suddenly become independently wealthy so I can stay home all day and write, seriously.

Oh, and did I mention that I went to get the car from the garage the other day? The mechanic is going to fix it later this week, and it's not like it doesn't drive well -- it drives just fine -- but it smells so BAD, and I can't turn on the heater (not really a problem anymore) or the air conditioner (yeah, okay, THAT'S going to be a problem). Ick. Stupid car.

(And thanks, everybody. *hugs*)
