And the intensive ramp-up to Dragon*Con of little mends and neurotic freaking out about everything begins. Yaaay. On the other hand I finally went out and got myself a dress form so I don't have to worry about trying to figure out where to sew and pin and sew things while they're on me. So that'll be useful, and I also have boxes for my costumes that include parts that can't be hung up so easily. Like wigs. So once I finish each costume the last few bits of the way I can put them all away and then just bring out the boxes for Dragon*Con! Which is less than three weeks away. Two and a half weeks? Augh.
I've got my schedule worked out though. So, bit by bit, all the tasks will be done? Writing wise I'm not doing too badly, though I really, really need to get Gods and Monsters done by the end of today and get a fucking backlog going on that. Fortunately I also have almost all the blogwork done for this week, and the rest of that can come tonight. Which actually means I may be creeping somewhat ahead in writing work in general, which would be fanTABulous. I also have finally booked time for playing with Scrivener! Only a day late or so? And. And at some point I need to get organized about my online presence, my advertising things, everything else. I just. I don't know, I kind of want to trust that my backbrain has all of this well in hand and at the same time augh so many things to juggle.
I think this is part of... something. Why Scrivener irritates me so. It offers a lot of tools to organize your novel and so on, but I've already learned to do this in my head. I always learned how to do this in my head, I organized it, I developed mental tools while people were developing programs. And trying to do it outside of my head feels weird and wrong. And clunky and clumsy. But I do think I like the formatting tools.
So, um. Today on the schedule it looks like all Gods and Monsters all the time at work, and then various and sundry fiddly tasks tonight. With playing around with Scrivener, and then after the boy leaves for work finishing up Person of Interest. If I'm lucky I can finish it up and do caps and put it all in and have that done and not have to worry about it for the rest of the week!
