It took me years to write, will you take a look?

Well you're sittin' in your little room
and you're working on something good
but if it's really good
you're gonna need a bigger room
and when you're in the bigger room
you might not know what to do
you might have to think of
how you got started
sittin' in your little room

This is the song that's been in my head for the past two weeks. For those of you not on the FaceBook juggernaut, last night (with 20 minutes to spare) I finished "Young Bones Groan", the Ashworth Academy fanfic that I started in March. Well. Except for two metaphors and the details regarding a magical ritual where I grabbed myself by the collar and growled "do not get bogged down in research! keep writing! go back later!"
Which is kind of like telling a Marine that "he's only got one gunshot wound, he can crawl to safety and we'll pick him up later". NOOOOOOO! MY METAPHOR! NO WORD LEFT BEHIND!
But I did completed the November Project, and I'm very pleased. But I can't slow down, because honestly at the rate of production last month, slowing down means stopping. And I have the December Project, the March Project, the Personal Project, and also going back and smoothing and refining the November Project for March.
So here's where I take ten minutes to bask in my glow, because baby do I glow, and then put my shoulder to the word processor. Maybe I'll investigate Yarny. (Feel free to offer advice on it.)

I know you said 'call when you get a chance' but I'm having awful luck reaching you. What's a good time to find you at home?

Are you calling the land line or the cell? I lost my cell phone a while ago and haven't replaced it yet. Also, I don't tend to pick up if I don't recognize the number, so leave a message on voice mail and I'll 1) call you back, and 2) add your number to the list of calls I don't need to screen.
