Rewriting randomocity

I hate to say I haven't done any work at all on The Sorcerer's Daughter in about a week.

That's because I've been rewriting another project for someone who has an interest in it--I can't go into it right now, but hopefully it'll lead to something. Since that project is heating up, it's the one that gets all the attention.

I really don't want to go into details about this right now--as soon as I can I'll spill it here. Just keep your fingers crossed for me that this turns into something. Of course, if it turns out to be a bust just forget I said anything.

So, I'm letting Drew (the titular Sorcerer's daughter) sort of languish while I revisit a world I created for a different project. It's an interesting world, though, peopled with characters that I like a lot.

It's been a busy week for me, beyond the rewriting. The company I work for hosted an event and I had to be there. I didn't have to give a presentation but I needed to be on-hand to help answer questions and otherwise smooze with the attendees--we had around 300 show up. It went pretty well, about as well as you could expect something like that to go. We may be doing more of those in the near future. Unfortunately, I decided to hitch a ride with my boss to get to the venue and since it was his event he needed to be there really early. Which meant I also had to be there really early. And stay until the bitter end. It made for a very long day.

Plus, some other stuff that went on at the office made this a very trying week for me. Not necessarily a bad week, just a hectic and stressful one.

So, I'm taking a couple of days off. The plan for those days is:

  • Get a new desktop PC. My current one is on its last legs and keeps crashing.
  • Resume working on The Sorcerer's Daughter
I'm hoping that I'll feel like the other project I've been rewriting will be ready for those who are interested in it to reread it by tomorrow night. I doubt I'll hear anything within a couple of days after sending it to them, but if I do, I'll be free to work on any more notes I may get. When I'm not wrestling with setting this new PC up.

Damn. I'm still worn out. Maybe I'm incoherent now. It's hard for me to tell at this point--I've been concentrating as hard as I have in a long time for an extended period of time with all this stuff, and it's taken a lot out of me.

Anyways, I hope all that makes sense.
