Yesterday was the first day back at the office, and it looks like I’m going to be (appropriately) be kept busy there. For some reason my boss actually thinks it’s a good idea that I work for my salary, which is both perfectly reasonable and possibly ill-advised. Who knows…

Anyhow, I’m trying to work out a path forward so that I hit as many of my deadlines as possible in coming months. Marianne is proving indispensable, but I have a LOT of stuff due before Christmas. I think TV and casual reading just took a dive till the New Year. From here on out it has to be focussed. I have a year’s best due in December (thank goodness I’ve already picked some stories for it) and a bunch of anthologies and bests ofs. You might not notice it, but 2010 will be my busiest year yet.

Oh, and I have to get invites for Eclipse 4 out. None have gone yet because I need to ponder the details of the book a little, though I did invite two people at Montreal who I hope will come through next year.
