The Best Laid Contingency Plans

This will be a short post. I was going to write something amazingly whitty and charming if just a little smarmy, you know, the usual, but instead I have to bow out quickly today. Currently I'm working on a science fiction apocalyptic novel, a collaborative crime novel and three short stories that are all about due. And then, just when I thought I was ahead of the curve…A fresh batch of line edits. Insert the appropriate suspenseful music here.

What am I line editing?

This.



When am I line editing it? Right freaking now. Ah, the best laid contingency plans will inevitably involve line edits.

Keep smiling,

Jim

    That needs to go on a t-shirt ... or a tombstone, either one.

  3. Anything to do with Aliens is very cool to me, so just you go line edit to your heart's content, ok?
