Deadline: Next Friday

I am currently not answering my phone or text messages, responding to emails or IM invites, or answering the door. All forms of communication are turned off. I am incommunicado until next Friday1 when the rewrites of the Liar book are due.

Rewriting the Liar book is all I am doing right now. It is the beginning and the middle and the end of each day. It doesn’t matter how much I want to play in my brand-new, shiny, shiny 1930s novel, or how much I want to gallivant about town, I’m not allowed.

I will probably still blog. If I don’t blog my head explodes. But I am unlikely to respond to your gorgeous comments. Though I will read and cherish them as I always do. Of course once I’m finished with the rewrites I head to Texas.

Right then, back to the grindstone goes me.

  1. Or, um, possibly next Monday. [↩]

    Gogogo! There’s nothing like pressure to inspire!

    We’re looking forward to your visit, here in the land of longhorns and queso!

    I’m catching up on posts after an RSS feed hiccup. In shame that it took me 12 days (!) to notice, here is a shiny distraction.

    And boy, was that ever the wrong link. Mustn’t work out of the office. Right link; profuse apologies.
