Organizational Bliss

I've come down from panic mode.

Falling back on my 'making a list will make it all better' mantra this morning over 16 ounces of caffeinated goodness, I can now breathe again.

Still tweaking Chapter One...it's all in the 'hook' now and it gets a little better with every pass. I'll post it when it's ready. I imagine a fist-pump will be the telltale sign that I'm ready.

This weekend will be the new professional portraits. We'll see how they turn out, although I love the current picture I use of Tina and me. I've booked an entire session so hopefully I'll get new kid shots as well. Both Brendan and Riona LOVE the camera.

One point of interest today:

A friend of mine (Sean) is related to James Morrow (The famous Sci-fi writer)...and I just found out Jim'll be a guest at ReaderCON. I sat with Jim at Sean's wedding a few years ago and we got on pretty well. I'm hoping to get time with him at the convention.

So many things to do and so little time. But the 'Holy List of Antioch' will see me through!

Wait. That's the 'Holy Hand-grenade of Antioch,' isn't it. Bad analogy!

Off to work and to drop the kids at summer camp. Live hard today everyone!

When did life become a 'Bugs Bunny' cartoon...?

I did some more editing this weekend....well, it was technically Monday morning around 2AM.

I'll look it over later today to see if it's actually any good. My goal is to get Chapter One of Book One blazing-hot by the end of this week. ReaderCON is only 23 days away!

So why the Bugs Bunny quote (besides the fact that Bugs Bunny cartoons are AWESOME and kick Sponge Bob's ARSE)?

There are so many things I need to get done before ReaderCON, that all I hear in my head is that 'Factory Song' from the old Bugs Bunny Cartoons.

You know the one...it's called 'Powerhouse' by Ray Scott...C'mon! You KNOW you know it!

Still not sure? Listen to a sample HERE.

Anyway...edits on Chapter One, a new website to get going, business cards, a new professional portrait, loads of marketing stuff. And of course my kids and partner who take precedence over everything.

"Wabbit Season!!!"

Should have the next round of edits up tonight.
