Where did the time go?

 

"Your book goes live Sunday! Aren't you excited?"

Gah. I haven't had time to be excited. It's been one of my busier weeks, with interns meeting with me, exams to grade, a class website to experiment with ...

I have so much to do!

I need to put together the party this afternoon or tomorrow! It shouldn't be too hard; it's an online party, I don't have to supply food, just things to do. 

I have an online wedding and a Halloween outing to the Board Game Cafe in costume tomorrow. (No, I'm not going to do the costume at the wedding!) 

I need to write my first 2000 words on Sunday. Before the book-signing party? After? Both? I need coffee! At least I'll have another hour to do so with Daylight Savings Time ending. 

I need to just take a deep breath and do things one at a time. I have the time I need.

Sunday's a momentous day

 On Sunday, my novel goes live (at least the Kindle version). And NaNoWriMo starts! So I am having a book launching party on Facebook and writing my first 2000 words in the same day.

The Facebook party will need a bit of planning, which of course I have not done yet. I wanted a real-life party, but ironically, I have more people attending this one than I would have a real-life party. 

Fittingly, I'm writing the sequel to The Kringle Conspiracy, called Kringle in the Night, for NaNo. So I have a Christmas romance for next year.

I'm afraid for this year's NaNo. The only time I failed to make my goal was four years ago, because Trump won the presidency in the US (and it turned out he was worse than I imagined). Now I'm afraid he's going to win again, and I think I will be making plans to move to Canada if he wins again. At any rate, I will be too depressed to write. 

Here's to a favorable result in the election, and here's to a month of creativity!
