OMG, So Busy

Honestly, I haven't been this busy since I worked in a cubicle farm, honest-to-goodness. I didn't know if I could cope with or handle the amount of work that was thrown to me in the last week. That answer is: Yes, Yes I Can.

I have a regularly scheduled gig for Sun - Thurs starting at 8:30am. You know how much I love mornings. (groan). But it's paying some bills. The work is interesting, but I now need to work on not being distracted by shiny objects and start picking up some speed, as the owner gives the client and estimate and we need to stay on budget.

An author friend hired me and sent a down payment on a book she wants me to edit for her. This will be the third book I've done for her. Her books are usually mysteries, and her writing is not bad.

And then out of nowhere on Thursday, a company I'm contracted to called and asked me to ghostwrite a project--the book needs to be double it's current length so that when it's printed it will have a spine (and be distributed in book stores). It's non-fiction, but very appropriate for the times--it's about mortgages.

I was asked to submit one test chapter that I had lengthened by bullet points, graphs, charts, graphics, and a little writing. I just submitted the chapter to my boss for review tomorrow. *fingerscrossed*

I hope I get the project--it would be a four-figure project. :-) I hope my body can take it.

Slammed

Holy shit have I been busy this week!! Damn! I have the research gig I'm doing with my college friend--that has regular hours 9am to whenever we finish--I didn't work Tues or Wed last week at all--a friend sent me a book to edit, and a small press I work for offered me a ghostwriting gig.

I don't know when I'm going to have time to do it all, but I'm going to try the best I can.

Now, I need to go to bed. I'll update when I can.
