@VictoriaCurran2 Think that was the name (maybe Currant?). All is great. Nancy and I got married, moved to Port Townsend. Been to Italy 2x for 2 mo ea. Most recently Roma. What about you?

[Alan Philipson @OfficialAlan]

@VictoriaCurran2 Hi V, so nice to see you

[Alan Philipson @OfficialAlan]

@VictoriaCurran2 Yeah, it's me. We haven't talked in years. Not since palace coup. Sad. Tried to contact you, but palace email addy already no good.

[Alan Philipson @OfficialAlan]

Last ever Deathlands came out today. If there had to be a final DL of mine, I'm glad this was it: one world ends, another begins.

[Alan Philipson @OfficialAlan]

@nancyholder Thanks for the tweet. You are a peach.

[Alan Philipson @OfficialAlan]

Got past story hump (self-constructed barrier?). Now I can see for miles and miles--and it's all pathos, comedy, and blood.

[Alan Philipson @OfficialAlan]

Still avoiding BD project. It isn't actually due for more than a month, but I get paid on completion so must buck up--maybe tomorrow?

[Alan Philipson @OfficialAlan]

Avoiding new BD project. Worked on 10KV instead, got past a sticking point. Hard to get answers without first framing the questions. Duh.

[Alan Philipson @OfficialAlan]

Horror novel morphed into book doctor job, long done. Many dozen DEs since last tweet. New BD undescribable: key words bring icky followers

[Alan Philipson @OfficialAlan]

Desk cleared, only SR/IV today, unless the150K+ word horror novel developmental edit rears its incoherent head

[Alan Philipson @OfficialAlan]

Clearing desk of day job today (Why does freelancing mean working 7 days a week?) so I can finish ch. 6 manana.

[Alan Philipson @OfficialAlan]

Back on chapter 6 (after dayjob deluge): Dan Desipio's margin notes appear to be in Urdu.

[Alan Philipson @OfficialAlan]

Wind blowing, sky dark, anti-SAD syndrome light bank blazing.Crikey, it's not even Halloween yet.

[Alan Philipson @OfficialAlan]

Spending the whole day working on SR/IV chapter 6. Yee-hah

[Alan Philipson @OfficialAlan]

First morning in long time I'm caught up on dayjob--shutoff Seahawks game ("a shoot out" or "firing squad"?) and worked

[Alan Philipson @OfficialAlan]

Editing someone else's horror novel--going blind writing in the Word "Comment" boxes. The things I do for money ...

[Alan Philipson @OfficialAlan]

Yup, sleep writing is the answer. Yawn ...

[Alan Philipson @OfficialAlan]

Wondering when SR/IV is going to gather its own momentum--they all write themselves, you know (trade secret).

[Alan Philipson @OfficialAlan]

Dayjob finally under control, made chapter 6 progress this morning.

[Alan Philipson @OfficialAlan]

Working on SR/IV chapter 6. Even without mom to take care of, dayjob keeps spilling over into weekends.
