( Russian, now just directions )

Which is easier than pasting that giant gob of Russian which I now need to print out and practice at some point. maybe later today. It's not even that much to memorize compared to the plays and things I used to memorize, and in Russian (or German) I'm fluent enough that it makes sense to me, so my brain won't balk and go "IT'S JUST NOISES." Still argh.

So, I'm just speculating right now, but I could totally turn this Nerd Girls thing into a series. Okay, screw speculating, the way this thing is turning out it's likely it will become a series. How quickly and efficiently that happens is another thing entirely. But in the meantime I'm checking to see how much of a series I can make of it. Nerd Girls Save The World is the first one, but after that, then what?

I should actually stop thinking about Nerd Girls and start thinking about Black Ice, since now is the hour on Sprockets when I start pulling edits out of the docs. Eep. After that comes macro edits, if there are any (I think there are), and after that comes formatting, and after that comes print formatting. Though I might just say 'fuckit' and rel... well. If I strip all the edits out and realize that I don't actually have much more in the way of macro edits to do, that means I can just format everything and set it to release at or just after Dragon*Con. And isn't that a terrifying thought. Especially since then I need to get started on ramp-up publicity YESTERDAY. Or actually a month ago.

This is the moment when I tell myself to get the fuck off of Dreamwidth and get back to doing things because you're spending too much time talking about doing things and not enough time doing them, isn't it. Yes? Yes.

( Gaeilge )

Not entirely sure why I woke up with Sucker Punch stuck in my head but, sure, why not. It works. And there is snow on the ground, I could use every extra kick in the ass I can get. Seriously, I disapprove of this extended winter bullshit. At least it's supposed to get warmer later on today.

I think I have my words for Russian today. Mostly the new verbs, remember these, self, both the simple and continuous of 'to have to' and 'to treat', whatever that means in context. But that's what I have dictionaries for. And other than that the rest of today will be spent doing the second draft of that one fic for submission that I don't have a title for yet, because apparently I wrote it from the wrong point of view the first time around. OOPS. The really sad thing is I had that feeling initially and didn't listen. It's like intuition works in writing as well as in languages or standardized testing or whatever else I've gone "That! No, wait... that other thing" and been right the first time.

Going to see Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters tonight. God help me. And then probably doing an extra scene in the Horror Big Bang story for Black Ice, I need to actually get the notes into that thing as to what those extra scenes are. And, again, note to self, at least one of those was another nightmare sequence involving battle at the center of the mind, followed by something that showcases how Randi is actually notTig's type, even if he's not her type, so at least that one side of things might be happening anyway in the right set of circumstances. And then possibly one transition scene and then that'll all be filled in. And. Argh. So much shit to do, so little time before September. Now I have two deathmarches, Dragon*Con costumes and book publication. AUGH.
