The lovely thing about this freelance gig is that it’s possible to procrastinate work by…doing other work. in this case, I am, well, updating my website, and I am handling emails, and I am adding words to the WiP and doing editor-for-hire work…
all to avoid working on the author page set for TRICKS OF THE TRADE. Which is due on the 5th.
I don’t mind page proofs, but Harlequin has a rather old-school approach to author sets that includes a lot of paperwork, and it drives me batshit. Really. After nine+three books, it still makes me shy away like a horse seeing a snake down the road.
I’ll do it, of course. This is my responsibility. But I’ll need to be driven to it by the roar of the approaching deadline.
I also have to polish up this week’s Practical Meerkat’s “52 bits of useful advice,” and get it off to my beta before she scowls at me. Her scowls are a terrifying thing…
So. I should get to it, huh?
Here. Have a self-portrait.
