• Mon, 15:03: Stories subbed. Query sent. Head desked. Two more bits of administrata, and then maybe my brain can be in writerspace.

• Tue, 11:28: All righty. Inboxes cleared. Story flipped. Records updated. I think I'll stare at this story doc for awhile.

I have done some math.

Shocking, I know. Not my strong suit, but I somehow muddled through.

Anyway. I have three cons in the next four months I want to go to. LTUE (because, yes, please, right in my back yard), SL Fan Xperience (because nerdgasm; also, Adam Baldwin and James Marsters OMG), and Miscon (because DAW Books is guesting and maybe I can pitch the novel(s) at them).

Having run the numbers and counted my pennies, I believe all three are doable as long as I get paid in a timely manner by the people who are going to publish me in April--especially if the roomie sitch at MisCon works out.

That being said, I think I want to sock more money away than I've been doing. That means that my short-term local fun is going to be limited by my long-term out-of-town/in-town-but-expensive goals.

Selling more fiction, at professional rates, would also help. *glares @ Muse* To that end, I need to sit down and write more. These last two stories are not going to write themselves, and marketing is not done by the brownies I leave a dish of milk out for.
