What I've been Up To...

lydamorehouseThis week has been very social. I hung out with a friend on Monday and read her astrology chart for her birthday. Yesterday, I did another spontaneous hangout with another friend where we talked about Bleach and I attempted to play the role of wiser, older lesbian (ha! Though I have the older part down pretty well.) Today is my writing day, so I'll do more hanging out... though hopefully some writing too. Shawn, no surprise, is wondering what the heck I'm doing with myself now that I don't have a book contract. At least yesterday I managed to send a couple of proposals (including SAMURAI HIGH!) off to my agent. Tomorrow I will tackle all the household jobs that I've been ignoring all week (while also volunteering for Mason's school.)
Today, in about ten minutes or so, I'm off to the tax accountant's office again, to deliver Shawn's signature and had over some late arriving forms and whatnot. Also, I'm going to see if I can have someone help me puzzle out some German tax forms I need to fill out so I can keep getting money from other countries.
Speaking of which, my editor informed me that we have made a French language deal for the ALMOST books. So, I say, "Vive la France!" The weird thing, though, is that when the publisher makes these deals (which they do almost exclusively these days) I don't actually see the money. They just give me "credit" against my advance. But, given that thanks to a Russian and Chinese deal ALMOST TO DIE FOR already earned out, I may actually get some $$ from that book eventually.
Well, I should probably head out. I'm sure the traffic to St. Louis Park is going to suck.
