I had hopes of spending this week working on my manuscript, but alas, I'm fighting with DucKon Writer's Track programming. Too many panels to present and not enough time. What stays? What goes? Or can I squash more in? Then, once I decide which panels I'm doing, the next challenge is to try and work the schedule around all the people participating. Not this time, not that time, not conflicting with this or that... aarrgghhh! :-) But, since I'm doing it all for my own edification (a whole bunch of authors, teachers, and a publisher at my beck-and-call for an entire weekend to answer any question I might have about writing) none of this is a bad thing, I just feel in a tizzy for a couple days.

Haven't written anything on the new book, which is kind of strange. Part of it is that I don't feel like I should do anything new until I get this one out the door, but the other hand says I feel better and get more done when I start out with new stuff... just another reason to feel in a tizzy and get nothing done, I guess. Sometimes I wish it was easy, but it isn't, so that's why we earn the big bucks, right? Right...

Anyway, best get working on convention stuff, so I can get that out the door so I don't have any more excuses to not work on that blasted manuscript.
