Chillin'

It got damned cold today. The storms rolled in and it got cold. I'm not complaining -- after the past couple of days, some cold weather is welcome, honestly.

Work was busy in the morning, trying to wrangle a lot of things under the deadline. It's all about meeting the deadlines, as ever! That's what I love about unstructured time: no deadlines!

I've got two books I'm going to write the remaining months of this year. I think that should be just ambitious enough to keep me motivated, without being overwhelming. I still need to find homes for the others. I'm going to focus more heavily on three of the ones I have done, the ones that I think are the most marketable. The longest one is a solid work, but it's just too large to try to pimp to agents, I think, especially in this economy. I'm going to shelve that one as one to sell if I'm able to get one of the others sold, first. I don't think like a businessman with my writing, but I really need to if I'm going to sell any of these.

I have the boys most of this weekend, which'll be fun. We'll have a good time, as ever. We watched "Kung Fu Panda" the other day, which the boys greatly enjoyed. It's a cute movie, well-structured and entertaining. Jack Black is perfect as Po the Panda.
