One thing gets in place, another slips

I have an ISBW recorded for you. It just needs editing. Why am I slack on this?

I’ve been writing.

Yeah yeah, the damn podcast implies that I should be doing that thing. If you listen, you know that discipline is a hard thing for me. But this week, starting last Sunday, I’ve been regular with the writing stuff. I’ve switched between Project: Underground and The Takeover, to great effect. The Takeover has one more episode to go (script-wise) and, damn me, yesterday I had a braingasm concerning a spinoff. (Don’t get your hopes up; it’s WAY down the priority list. But it makes me giggle, and it made the person who’d play the main character pretty excited too.) Project: Underground is chugging along and I’m pretty close to choosing a title. Interestingly enough, it’s what I thought I’d title it in the beginning, but I wasn’t sure.

So yay for all that. Sadly, it means that there’s been recorded audio on my computer that hasn’t been edited, and I’m sorry for that. I will get to it today, I really really hope.

In other news, I wanted to point you to two writing blogs I’m enjoying.

• The Burning Zeppelin Experience is by a fantasy writer, role-player and RPG writer (and no, it’s not me). I’m enjoying both the writing advice and the RPG tales.
• Urraca: A blog on writing and books is by a steampunk writer who is determined, opinionated, and damn funny.

And just general link salad:

• John Scalzi on Why You Need an Agent: The Foreign Edition
• Nathan Bransford is talking about Does Free Pay?
• And in dreadful irony, I have a bad habit of seeing something I want to give more time/attention to in Google reader, starring it, and never coming back to it. I discovered today I had 168 items in there. So I started going through, deleting the ones that were out of date, but then I discovered several posts from one of my favorite (but unfortunately for me, too prolific) blogs, Zen Habits. The topics? Focus, good days, and making time. *sigh* So I’m going to go read them now, and recommend that you take the time to check them out too, if focus and procrastination is as big a problem for you as it is for me. I will do what I can to catch up on blogs, and let you know the best ones here. But first, to read Zen Habits.
