Sep. 27th, 2012 08:58 amSleep is such a good invention. Last night I dreamed three really appalling fantasy novels, plus the introduction to my workshop tomorrow. My workshop now has three parts (for I often forget introductions until the last minute) and all I need to do is note them so that none go missing.
I worked quite late last night and managed to diminish my list of impossibilities a bit., I did half the things I had intended and a third of the new arrivals. It could be worse, but today will still be challenging.
At the end of today I have friends arriving for the weekend. No-one appears to be staying with me at this stag, which is a bit of a surprise. it's all about dinners and drinks and panels.
Right now I'm declaring a race. I have five minutes before I make a big pot of coffee. Between now and the coffee I must finish three small tasks. Once the coffee is in front of me, I have until it runs out to finish three bigger tasks. If I can do all this, then the sky is my limit. Or I may get dressed (as my reward). If I can be seriously caught up by lunchtime, I'm allowed a special treat when I run my messages* in the early afternoon.
*One of the things that happened was another set of messages, even though I've run three sets already this week. They're ten-minute--with-car and an hour or so on foot, but will get me walking, which is a good thing.
