I realized I always talk about my To Do list, but I never really say what’s on it, other than the obvious. Here are the basics, broken down by project:

Writing

• ALNM, obviously, is my first priority. We’re more than halfway through, and I’d like to finish the draft by the end of July. We also need to work on promo stuff—Virgin asks authors to write the back-cover copy, etc.
• Anthology stories. I have about 20 markets on the list, with deadline out to next year. The list will grow…
• Create AmazonConnect sites for myself and for Sophie
• Review foreign markets list and send stories for reprint
• Waking the Witch—rewrite prologue, edit synopsis, send to Tor and potential agents
• Get RWA PAN membership application organized and mailed

(That’s just the top stuff for right now. I’ve got more that’ll take me easily to the end of the year.)

SCA Etc.

• Brainstorm with Morgana and make Faerieworlds costumes
• Make new Pirate Tourney outfit
• Pre-reg for GWW; get hotel for GWW?
• Schedule time for shed-building party
• Make Dawn costume for Dragon*Con?

Styx

• Continue working on fan club database
• E-mail Street Team list re: fan club info and compile answers into database
• Create Street Team members database on list site

Travel

• Trip to Portland in July?
• Get flights from Atlanta to Boston and Boston to LA
• Prep work for CCR/Dragon*Con/Boston trip

Daily/Ongoing

• ABC-CLIO work
• Exercise
• E-mail

You’d think I’d get tired looking at all that. But in a way, I’m energized. There’s a lot of fun stuff there! There’s more, of course, but those are the main things I’m working on right now.
