I just had the world’s third largest panic attack. I was reading Nick Cowie’s blog and realised it’s May. May! I am four weeks late on taxes (I always put off the taxes), need to proofread two anthologies and edit one set of columns this week, have two manuscripts to prepare, am planning a family trip (note: trip not holiday to US), am trying to build a new promotional website and work out a whole lot of new promotional stuff, and there’s more stuff I’m not even thinking about. I know there are a bunch of proposals that need writing too. All in all, I sat down for a quick breakfast in front of the computer and nearly had a complete meltdown. I’ll calm down and start planning how to cope a little later, but for right now I’m going a little crazy.
