Sunny and lovely

I had a really quiet day for the most part, yesterday. I felt better in the evening, so that’s when I got back to the page, and worked. I have another couple of scenes on THE MATILDA MURDERS, and then I’ll do a polish tonight and send it off tomorrow. I still have to do the FEMME FATALE and SIDEKICK scripts, but I hope to get those finished either before I go to the Cape or just after I get back next week.

I did a little bit of work on the short stories, but, once I finish the MATILDA scenes, there’s one story in particular, the Crone story, that needs my primary attention.

There’s actually a post up on The Tactile Muse, which goes into detail about how I spent my afternoon yesterday when I should have been writing.

I’m trying to get everything done early this morning, because I’m spending most of the day at my friend’s place in CT. After all, it’s a holiday weekend – I want to sit outside and enjoy it!

I’m taking work with me – both Confidential Job #1 and #2 sent me new assignments, and I want to get everything done this week before I leave for the Cape. I’m still at my old rate with #1, until June 15, so I’m trying to get as much done before the rate change as possible. And, if the new rate doesn’t work for me . . .I’ll have to leave. I’ll give it a few months to see how it shakes out – more frequent and easier assignments at the lower rate can work in my favor. Ones that require a higher level of skill and concentration, and I’ll have to make the decision that’s best for me.

Hope you’re all having a fun and creative holiday weekend!

PS I have links to a bunch of articles of mine that are up — but I’ll post them on Tuesday, when people are actually around to read them!
