The Week Ahead...

For almost a year, we've been gearing up for this...the Sunnydale Writers Summit. 20+  authors/special people gathering together to party with the published text. Only, this is not the actual title of the event, nor the subtitle, but you get the drift. (The drift being my that my--truly--wonderful leaders envisioned something that could be great, huge, etc. but only too late realized the amount of manpower it would take.)

A few weeks ago, I realized that it was very much like a baby--we've spent 9 months pregnant with this motherfucker, putting sweat and worry and tears and anticipation into this, culminating in 2.5 days of labor. As Frog put it, "this baby's coming, whether or not we're ready for it."

My work schedule for the week is as follows: Monday 7 AM-12 PM; Tuesday 8 AM-12 PM; Wednesday 7 AM-7 PM; Thursday  7 AM-7 PM; Friday 7 AM-7 PM; Saturday 8 AM- 5 PM. Given these shenanigans, my goals for the week are fairly modest:
