Working on Progress
Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

So, I’m taking the whole month of February off of writing. I need a little vacation. I’ve ordered my friends to administer severe spankings if they catch me writing this month (though how they’d know if I was lying, I’m not sure, but that’s beside the point).

However, I’m plotting out some new stories, so the writing process hasn’t come to a grinding halt. Here’s my current to-do list.

Plan out:

  • 2 new contemporary short stories
  • 2 new paranormal/futuristic short stories
  • 2 new single author anthologies
  • 1 new paranormal novel
  • 1 new paranormal proposal

Librarianista stuff:

  • Prep lectures and teach 15-20 classes (Feb and Sept are the busiest library months for teaching. Very bad idea to have any fiction writing due then.)
  • Work on outliney thing they require for the first year of your tenure process.
  • Start research for 2 scholarly articles on library stuff (that would bore anyone who wasn’t a librarian to utter tears).

    I dunno, thinking about writing still sort of counts, imo.

    *spank*

    Nope, that was part of my deal with myself. I figured I’d go crazy if I went cold turkey, so I can just plan. That’s it.

    Which I think I said, so you were looking for an excuse to grab the flogger.

    LOL I think as a writer you never really stop writing. So maybe you’re already in trouble there >> Good luck with everything else though :D

    The only problem is, if we try to spank her she’ll just grab the paddle and turn it on us.
    Hmm…OTOH, maybe that’s not entirely a bad thing…
