Well, not much work work was accomplished today, but I did actually get things done.

Finished:
  • The Wild Wild West story for Gentlemen Never Tell 9. The edits are already back and I should be sending 'em back in the next day or two. Gee, only a month late. ([livejournal.com profile] graculus, you can definitely put away the prodding stick.)
  • My taxes. And I will be getting a whopping big refund, too. Yay!

    Almost Finished:
  • The silly vid. I'm just awaiting two last clips which I should be getting from a friend tomorrow.

    Started:
  • My [livejournal.com profile] summer_of_78 story. Mere minutes after finishing the WWW story, my brain started plugging away at solving some of the narrative problems in the bare bones of the story I'd been thinking about. It should be cool. It also might just turn out to be freaking long. And I've got what, 19 days to do it in? Sigh.

    Still, not a bad day's work.

    Well, you're ahead of me in [livejournal.com profile] summerof78. I have the vaguest idea ever for mine, and my several abortive attempts to write something -- anything -- on it tonight have been thwarted by my absolute lack of inspiration.

    Le grand sigh. Zut alors.

    Well, all I've got at the moment is outline. Lots and lots of outline, but no actual story. So, we'll see how that goes. Still, it's more than I had this morning.

    And I have complete confidence that you'll come up with something that rocks. 'Cause you always do.

    BTW, I just finished Yellow, Vol. 3 and Yowza! Can't wait for the final volume. And I've got Don on the lookout for Bleach at our friendly local comic store.

    I was already teetering on the edge of that slippery slope. You just gave me the final, firm push.

    The lovely gay man who helps run the comic shop Don goes to has also been good for the odd recommendation. He usually greets Don with "hey, is your wife still reading yaoi?"

    That sounds very productive to a guy who's been trying to finish ONE short story for several weeks.

    Near panic and deadlines can be very, um, motivating.

    BTW, a big congrats on your news!

    From: [identity profile] sooguy.livejournal.com
    I know what you mean about deadlines.

    Thanks for the congrats. I hope the big guy told you before you read it in my journal. I was trying to let people I know in person hear it first hand before they read it here.

    We'll have to swap some babysitting next year.

    Don told me as soon as he got off the phone with you. I meant to comment in your journal, but as you can see above, I've been pre-occupied.

    We definitely shall have to trade off babysitting. And I'm determined to get some pre-fall babysitting in for you before then. I'll just have to push Don.

    I'd worry, except you seem to have the knack for pulling a rabbit out of your hat at the very last minute. :-) And I'm looking forward to reading the story!

    Your faith is inspiring. And, I hope, not misplaced. *g*

    18 days. Gulp. That was a nice little shot of adrenaline.

    Well, I always tell my editors I need a gun to my head to get moving on things.

    I am sooo heckling your WWW panel.

    Actually, maybe I'll sit on it. (Are you really the only person on it?)

    Date: 2006-05-03 11:39 pm (UTC)
    From: [identity profile] graculus.livejournal.com
    Yes, really. Apparently. Not that this is a problem since I can easily talk enough for three people if I put my mind to it. ;)

    And apparently I won't be heckling your UNCLE panel, since they've moved my other panel on Sunday so it now clashes. Grrr.

    Well, bugger.

    Guess it's down to me to appear at the WWW panel, then.
