What's Next?

As the post-nano emotional hangover fades, I'm looking at December and trying to figure out how to harness all this energy.

Without, of course, burning myself out.

So, what I have is:

• Edally Academy begins posting on about January 15. By then I need:
  
  • at least the first 8 installations edited, cleaned up, and second-drafted
    
  • a web page created
    
  • at least one ad ready
    
  • at least three teasers done
  
  
• January's not-quite-a-nano project is Rin & Girey. By then I need:
  
  • to finish and smooth out the outline and figure out what, if anything, I need to change in the current iteration to make it go better in the outline.
    
  • to decide where it ends.
  
  
• I have two submissions to get done in early December:
  
  • Superhero Romance for Good Mourning
    
  • 713/Kazka Oress
  
  
• I need to wrap up and send Alder by Posts in one giant mailing of apologetic doom.
  
• If I finish the submissions by the 10th, I am going to spend 15 days re-writing Addergoole Book One from the 10th-Christmas. To do that I need:
  
  • to finish the outline

This would leave me time for a Giraffe Call (it really would). The question is: is there interest? The last one brought in very few prompts and no $ at all. And while I love doing them, if you guys don't like them too, there's not so much point.

So, that's my December and January. What about yours?

I'd like another Giraffe call, but I do wonder how that works in the month of Christmas. Do people have spare money after buying gifts? Are flashfics suitable gifts?

I'll give getting back in the habit of writing another go, but work is still iffy-busy.

I always enjoy Giraffe Calls, and I would leave you a prompt or three, but I doubt I would be able to donate. Maybe in a few months after I have my new computer paid off...

Just to answer your last question: I have two huge deadlines coming up. One is getting my house in shape to show for sale, which includes GETTING ALL OUR STUFF OUT OF IT AND MOVING, WHICH IMPLIES FIRST FINDING AND BUYING AND CLOSING ON A NEW HOUSE. The other is researching and delivering a 20 page report for my first freelance contract.

I'll finish commenting on Edally Academy, but I can't promise anything after that! At least for a while…

Totally fair! Life happens.

No worries if you can't get through Edally right away, either. I understand moving and all the implied stress!
