Wrote ~2500 words' worth of Transformers ficlets and threw them into the wilds.

Then wrote very nearly that much excoriating the misery that was the Windblade mini *spits on it*

So I guess the past week was robots week ... *needs to switch to other robots*

[kalloway]

\o/

About all I can give Windblade is 'yay, Blurr!'. ^^;; He may have had a squiggly bar?

*patpat* Which robots~?

[taichara]

And at that Blurr's been reduced to "bitchy bartender" *grumbles*

*leans* don't know yet but I should pick some soon because the not-robot choice is starting to scratch >.>

Editing the manuscript of a sequel novella. It should be done in three or four days.

Completed reviews of two chapters in ongoing review/critique with co-sporker, and copied and reformatted two more. HTML done on one chapter.

Wrote 1,663 words of A Song of Ice and Fire pre-canon fic. (No reason for this one. I just wanted to write it.)

Currently re-reading some of Shakespeare's history plays to give myself ideas for the Histories Ficathon. I'm trying to think of AUs I haven't done before.

Also discovered that I signed up for House at Fic Corner (due September 1). Fortunately, my recipient and I have a couple of fandoms in common.

Still no word on a manuscript that I tossed back for rewrites about three weeks ago. This makes me anxious; the deadline is tomorrow.

Yikes.

Well, my bosses got the manuscript back three weeks early, so if there's a problem, it's not on my end. But I'm afraid I'm going to be asked to do a ridiculously rushed job of second edits because the author is taking her time.

Ugh. I understand very well that position of being not only downstream, but "last in line" ...

Did very little this week other than fight an epic funk with mint tea. Today I finally made a very small amout of progress moving all sorts of random notes and bits of crap from GD back to Scrivener.

P.S. I love that you use icons of what I think of as "holiday lights" all year round.

[kalloway]

I misread that as an epic fight with mint tea and was intrigued. ^^;;

Even small progress is progress!

(My mother used to have a small set for every holiday and just random strands of shapes to hang in the windows all year. As you can imagine, my place is filled with battery-operated lanterns, candles, even light up cherry blossoms. I love pretty lights.)

I think much like how just copying something down helps one to remember it, making any notes on a thing helps you think about it. I say go for it.
