You wouldn’t know it from my lack of participation around here.<\/p>\n

I’m still in Between Projects Mode.\u00a0My massive To-Do list exploded when I suddenly discovered myself taking on far more of the Nobody Writes It Better blog<\/a> launch than I’d expected. It couldn’t be helped. One of those life circumstances that happens along, and the majority of the work shouldn’t fall to one person (I’m not talking about me here), anyway. I was happy to lend a hand to get the blog up and running. I still have a task to accomplish there\u2014getting the Gallery page packed with more than placeholder images. But I also need to continue tackling The Office so I can move from Between Projects Mode to Brainstorming New Projects Mode. So that’s what I’m \"paper_mountain\"doing. Digging my office out from under several years’ worth of manuscripts. Which mainly means storing them somewhere else. I’m one of those packrats who likes to keep ALL the evidence of agents and editors to whom I’ve submitted a particular project as well as at least one copy of every draft I’ve printed out. Until I sell a project, those files remain in my office. However, I just found a ton of files for BORROWING ALEX<\/a>, which was published two years ago. Time for the files to move! I also found a bunch of files for Penny’s next release, this coming December. I’ve done everything for that release aside from getting to see the cover and promotion, so, yep, I can pack her files away, too.<\/p>\n

I’ve discovered great little binders I put together the last time I did one of these The Office checks. They’re full of notes from Kiss of Death<\/a> classes I’ve taken. I’d forgotten where they were, because they were on top of a plastic pseudo-file cabinet (which held pieces of BORROWING ALEX<\/strong>, among other things), underneath two cat blankets. Yes, The Evil Entity has been sleeping on mystery\/suspense notes. Explains her personality.<\/p>\n

The notes don’t do me much good if I don’t know where they are, so I’m trying\u2014note that, trying\u2014to reorganize the office with a tad of a semblance of order.<\/p>\n
