Progress...or lack thereof
Jul. 29th, 2007 11:52 pmProcrastinatory me got all of my Odyssey notes typed up as of today. Yay for vague sense of accomplishment!
On the not-so-accomplished side of the spectrum, my other goal for this weekend was to get my leprechaun story (which is undergoing a title change from "Family Luck" to "Unlucky Clover") revised and in the mail before I head down the shore tomorrow. Yeah, didn't happen. I made some progress on the revisions, but it's going a lot slower than I thought it would. My internal editor--an annoying, temperamental little pain in the butt on a good day--seems to have been joined by the phantom voices of the Odyssey critique circle. You guys are a picky bunch, even when you're only in my head.
Anyway, after a way-too-early-in-the-morning dentist appointment tomorrow, I'm off to the shore for a week and a half. I may actually get something accomplished in the writing department while I'm there--the house my in-laws rent has a great deck to escape to for that. But it's also possible that the call of copious reading material that I don't have to critique may be too strong to resist and cut into my writing time...which may not be such a bad thing.
