danaerisThe story of the freelance writer:
"Sure, we'll take a month or three to get back to you about that story idea, but once we've approved it, we need it tomorrow. Oh, and now that you've written it, we'll probably take a month or three to pay you."
Pitches I'm waiting on
PIMAC at the spec
W AQ story
Stories in the works
Star story about emotions, due Wed, probably about $315 CAD
W NEAT story, due Tues (yes, the story got approved; I just found out! Finally, a story in W!), no idea what kind of compensation, but I'd guess at least $200 USD
HEM story, due whenever, probably about $200 USD
Cheques I'm waiting on
AW - $300 USD
Star - $450 CAD
Stories about to be published
D sleeptracker story
However, I now have two deadlines from important clients. They're relatively short articles (200 words and 700 words respectively).
My schedule over the next week is to get up at 5:30 a.m. tomorrow morning, work until 3, get picked up, go to the catskills, and return late Sunday. Monday, handing out candy, Tuesday, no plans, Wednesday, no plans, Thursday, I have to go to a dinner for work.
The house in the catskills has wireless, iirc. But I'm still not sure if I should still go. Do I really want to road trip to the catskills just to do more work? Might as well stay in town.
EDIT:
I called![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pyat and arranged to go in at the usual time after all. If I feel differently about going away tomorrow morning, and futabachan and A haven't left yet, I may still go. But at the moment I just don't know what I want so I'm going to err on the practical side and get enough sleep and enough time to do my work.
Edit
Argh. Can't call off going in early. SO TIRED!
