I
will still work on Scurvy Dogs! every day between now and my
self-imposed deadline, but not as much as I'd like. Have to spend
most of today (Sunday) doing some serious editing of the copy on the Talk Like
a Pirate Day website. Some of that stuff is amazingly old, and really
long and self-indulgent. Stop taking yourself so damn seriously! The
holiday is coming up fast now, and the website is being completely
overhauled, so this is the time. We also have a couple of videos we
have to do.
And
next week I've also got at least three long story assignments that
will take me the better part of the day each time. Gotta pay the
rent.
But
I can't lose the momentum. These other things are things I have to
do. Scurvy Dogs! is what I really want to do. So even on the busy
days, I'll find a way to get some work done on the book.
Because
it's steaming right now, and I don't want to lose the pressure, the
sizzle. Even with the little delays, I will finish by Aug. 19 and
Tori will get on the plane the next day with Scurvy Dogs! on her
Kindle. By the time she gets to La Guardia, she'll be able to call and
tell me if it works or not.
