I'm HOT!
Edited on Fri Jan-18-08 07:52 PM by Redstone
I'm so hot, I'm SMOKIN!

Took the notion today to FINALLY (first time since 1998) update my marketing book and get it re-published.

And of course, as any writer knows, the "update" turns into a major revamp, new content, new cover, all that stuff. As any author knows as well, once you get your teeth into something like this, you get obsessed and it's REALLY hard to stop. I've been at it steadily from 9 this morning until just now, and am going back to it as soon as this post is done.

Mrs R has promised me she'll be home by 9:30 so she can make me stop before I hurt myself; she knows how I get.

Might be back around later; you know how the Lounge is great for decompressing after a long day's work.

Also, if I'm not here very much for the next week or so, don't worry (I know some of your do). I'll just be busy editing. And editing. And editing. And editing some more.

Someone, please stop me before I edit again!

1. I feel your pain!
But it's a good pain. Good luck getting the book into shape!

3. The ability to to over-edit is the curse of the modern age.
Let it go, let it be what it is, and accept congratulations!

6. Not awesome, though thank you. It's just how ADD people work: Take advantage of the
periods of hyper-concentration when you can.

I've managed to break away for tonight, but come tomorrow morning, I'll be beavering away at it until it's done.

5. How horny do you get?
:hide:

An author myself; I know how you feel. But being single rocks; I can work and work and never worry about it. Until the fuckin' phone rings, but the only place I shove it is in the oven; turn it to 400 degrees for 30 minutes...

7. Horny? Not at all. But having MrsR around to make me stop when I should is,
as I mentioned, really valuable.

Because I really would hurt myself physically if I worked on the project all night like I used to do.
