I know, I know.
Aug. 3rd, 2007 02:50 pmI don't post for a week, and then I post like some sort of spamming thing. ::rolls eyes:: But that's obviously not going to stop me posting for the third time today. :D
It's just that I'm feeling good about stuff at the moment, so I want to share. I've been beating myself up a bit lately because I'm allowing myself to procrastinate and dither about solely because I am WAITING. I'm waiting to hear back from the publisher who requested my novel. I hate waiting. But, as I was saying to K-Bob over IM this a.m., better a long wait and a positive outcome than a short wait and a negative outcome. Still...I hate waiting. And I've been using it as an excuse not to get anything else done, writing-wise. I did make some progress on Log 3:8, as I mentioned the other week, but it's not done. ::hangs head:: However, today I finished a TLW fic that I started several years ago. Yes, I mean years. It languished on my old hard drive for several years before being transferred to my current one back in December, where it languished until very recently because it wasn't meant to be what I'd thought of when I started it. Go figure.
On a tangential topic, I want to lean on someone for some promised beta work, but I know she's crazy-busy and since it relates to the WAITING I'm doing, I don't feel right pushing her for it. Doesn't mean I wouldn't do a major happy dance if it suddenly appeared in my inbox, though. Maybe I can lean on her for the first three chapters... That might be okay... Hmmm...
In other news, "script kiddies" got into one of my websites. >:-P Fortunately I found it right away, dumped their crap, and changed the password. (Thanks, LM!) Hopefully they won't get in again and they'll go back to school in September and have less time to pull their online bullshit.
