Dana's Goals for June

Oh yeah, back from the dead! Or my book tour... Book tour of the Living Dead! hah!

Anyway, I have been very very busy. I had a ghost writing project; non-fiction erotica to help a friend meet a project deadline. It was due June 1st and came to me smack in the middle of prep for the book tour and the tour itself. I managed something like 7000 words in four days and met the deadline. My pal has asked me to write five more mini-chapters, due by the 27th. So...that's what I'll be doing for the next two weeks. I have a Twilight Tour to emcee at the cathouse the weekend of the 21st, so that weekend will be taken up with driving to L.A., working at the tour and driving home. Ugh, yay, and Ugh, respectively.

I'm also working on the sequel to MFH: The Peruvian Pigeon, having found it more eager to write itsel than LILITH (which is still being pecked at). I also need to add to my blog roll and post three times a week. So... my goals for the rest of June are:

1. Finish four-five vignettes for the erotica project.
2. 1,000 words on MFH: The Big Snooze every five days
3. Post three times a week (long or short, doesn't matter)
4. Anything on Lilith will be a plus, not necessary.

Dana's Goals, The Rest of May1

Well, as is obvious from my absence of goal posting, I have been crazy busy, both at work and at home. Boska, my geriatric dog is finally fading out and much time has been spent giving her extra love and attention. I have, however, also been writing and am pleased to announce I've finally cracked my writer's block/fear of 'do I have another novel in me' and started the sequel to MFH. It's moving along nicely and I'm having fun, which tells me I'm working on the right project. I haven't given up on LILITH, just taking a break.

I also just got another time sensitive writing project from a very old friend of mine, who is now writing NC-17 'how to' erotica books and has a major deadline (June 1st) coming up. So she's paying me to help her finish it! Everything has to be done by the 1st and can I just say the timing is amazingly bad on this because my book tour with Jess starts next Wednesday night and I'll be gone a week, and I'm taking Boska up to Humboldt for one last visit with her dad. She will stay up there as she's going to be buried near Shmoo (the cat we lost a year ago January) under some beautiful redwoods. I'm hoping Brian and I will have one last weekend together with Boska, full of short walks and quality attention.

So very simply, my goals are to finish my portion of the project for my friend (I have about 13,500 words to do), give Boska as much love as she wants, and have a great book tour. And stay sane and drive carefully too!

Dave is helping me with the writing project and I really think we can get it done without too much stress. It will be a nice chunk of change ($1860) for the job.

Dani, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO NAG!!!!!!

You get a huge hug and some chocolates instead!

You are doing a fantastic job, and don't forget I'll be a first-reader on the next MFH book if you need one! Yay!
