Why is it that, whenever your idea hamster is really getting going and you think you're finally going to have some time to actually write, it all goes away?
Things are really coming together on Cloak and Shadow right now, and I'm starting to see the interconnections I need in order to write it. And after I finished the last big load of articles and wasn't finding any new assignments on H-net, I thought I was going to have some actual writing time.
Fat chance. Today I get an e-mail from an editor I've worked for before, telling me she needs help with a bunch of articles that other people wussed out on. And we need the money, so I can't really tell her no. So I'm going to be frantically pounding out these articles for the next month, and there goes all my writing time.
We'll see if I ever get any writing time, or if it always ends up vanishing as the next non-fiction project makes its appearance.
