So, I’m still slowly working through the TBR pile for reviews. While I know I’ve had these for a long time, and received them under varying promises of review publication (some were sent to me via Apex, and then they decided to stop doing reviews, then started again, then…gods only know.) as well as many of the interviews that were to be posted to Associated Content (that is my fault, I was under the impression we could set them up to auto-post over time, and we can not)…<\/p>\n

And wow that was a run on, go nowhere sentence.<\/p>\n

Ok, here’s the thing. I’m bloody damned swamped and have been for months. Despite the attempts to clear my desk before NaNoWriMo started, it didn’t happen. So..I’ve been niggling away at smaller projects until I received a rather nasty email from an author yesterday, who had sent me her pdf in September and was raging mad that I hadn’t reviewed it yet, demanded I do it NOW<\/em>, and tried to call in an old friendship I barely remember to do it. I explained the situation, reminded her that I told her it would be some time yet before I could do the review, and then… I went through my pdf files, and deleted her ARC. <\/p>\n

I’m not blurbing someone that demands to be jumped ahead of everyone else simply because we took a class together (apparently) years ago. Even my best buds Louise, Greg, Brandon and Murv don’t get jumped ahead of everyone else. Ask Louise – she’ll tell you it took me three weeks to read a short story for her. <\/p>\n

Not to mention if I hadn’t have been the editor, I probably still wouldn’t have had time to read The Black Act<\/a>. By the way, we ALL<\/em> want dominatrix pictures of Louise, so if you haven’t yet bought it, go do so.<\/p>\n

I owe four or five articles to Ghostwriters Society, many of which are partially written, or in research stages. I barely make my monthly posting at The Pagan & The Pen. When I say barely, I mean if I hadn’t have been reminded last time, I probably would have missed it.<\/p>\n

(this is all stuff outside the day jobs of Belfire\/TNBP\/LeeLite and editing which are pretty much 9-5 these days)<\/em><\/p>\n

What I need, and I am getting, btw, is a full month of catch-up time as soon as NaNo is over and I’ve turned in the big project. After that, it’s clear sailing with only TNBP and Belfire, plus occasional cover contracts with Doc Pus.<\/p>\n

So, for the 20 or so folks I owe reviews and the 10-15 folks I owe interview postings, I am digging. I am. It’s all just that far behind…<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
