blogging at Musa today

In the "here's one I prepared earlier" tradition, I don't need to write anything on my LJ/DW today because I've got a post up at Musa. It's a short meditation on how all that mythology I pretty much inhaled as a child has come out in my own writing.

The blogmaster's probably in bed at the moment, so you've got a few hours in which to spot the paragraph which was not written by me. I have emailed a correction... (ETA: now corrected.)

so many projects, so little time (and tendons)

The WIP came to a screeching halt during the migraine fuzziness earlier this week. I've perked up enough that I can do some writing again, but I may need to noodle the next 1000 words or so anyway. Plus my tendons hurt, and extensive typing is not an option at the moment. Other stuff to look at over the next few weekends:

Book log! Especially as I now have two LTER ARCs outstanding, plus Growlycub would doubtless like to see my at-length opinion on The Duke's Perfect Wife and whether it does or does not break the promise made in earlier volumes.

Putting together a small collection of my short stories, in order to reprint a couple where the website has vanished. Self-publishing is the most realistic option for several of my shorts, as I can't offer unencumbered rights to another publisher. (This means I may be looking for beta-testers for the formatting.)

Finish the edit of that test I did with dictating fiction with Dragon, and put up a compare-and-contrast page on my website.

Oh yes -- website needs more updating work. I think I've hunted down all the old Loose Id links that no longer work after The Great Database Crash, but I need to do a full check that all the other links do what they're supposed to. And then have another bout of updating the stylesheet on some of the older pages.

Write some more of that story I was using to test Dragon, even if it's just jotting down notes on the plot before I forget it.

Ditto some other story ideas I've got floating around.

And nab Watervole and/or Predatrix for some story brainstorming on the above...
