"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*)

At least it doesn't sound like sex scenes from random "Urban Fantasy" novels.

Good to hear car still functions (ish) though.

I hear you. Fried brains taste good.

I've never had a cat that liked catnip (and I've had a bunch - currently three of my own and two staying with me for a few months). Sometimes I begin to think that all these tales are an elaborate joke you guys are playing on me.

Your editing process frightens me a little.:)
