The writing life

 

I'm battling to complete a short story before the deadline for submissions later this week, so this cartoon made me laugh.  Click the image to be taken to a larger version at the Foxes In Love Web page.



I can almost hear the simultaneous groan from my writing and publishing buddies as they see it . . .

    "I love the sound of deadlines as they go whooshing past."

    Yep. I thought I had a lot of time to do something ... and discovered four other far more pressing (as in Day Job things) matters to get done first, then I can write. Aaaarrrrrgh!

    Software development is as bad or worse. My four employees and I are constantly buffeted between bug fixing and new features for patch releases and new releases. We are currently at version 16.25 so the patch releases are winning.
