1. I really need to finish the manuscript of the Games book, so I got back to work on that and have put in all of the citations in the intro and first chapter that come from Philosopher's Stone. The plan is to do all of the citations for each chapter that come from the corresponding book (so tomorrow is the Chamber of Secrets chapter and all of the citations in it that come from that book), followed by going through the whole thing and batting cleanup, i.e. pulling citations from whichever book they come from regardless of the chapter (like the DH and CoS and PoA citations in Chapter 1, etc.), followed by the final run-through, putting in the citations from sources outside the seven books (Murphy's book about Grimm's fairy tales, a couple of Jane Langton's books, some JKR interviews, her address to the 2008 class at Harvard, etc.).

2. I had one of those pre-dawn revelations today while I was lying in bed, trying to decide between moving the three cats off my legs who were keeping me warm and going to the bathroom or just staying there, cozily paralyzed. Staying in bed won out because my mind started going in circles as I realized how to salvage a writing project I thought was dead in the water. I will start trying to put my plan into action tonight--hopefully this will work. First, though, I will save off the previous version, just in case I end up deciding that my idea is complete idiocy and I would have been better off taking the cats off my legs and going to the bathroom after all. ;)

3. I'm still writing the backstory for Troubling the Water, which is going well and will make it easier for me to outline when I've completed this stage. As part of working on this I discovered that Google Maps can actually tell me how to WALK from Venice to Cracow, taking two possible routes (one that goes across Austria and then the Czech Republic before getting to Poland, the other going across only a small corner of Austria, then Slovenia, then Slovakia and Hungary before Poland). However--when I asked Google Maps about driving from Venice to Mestre (another town in Veneto that's on the mainland a short distance away) it couldn't do it. Walking it could do for that, too, but not driving. Bzuh? Do they think the only folks consulting Google Maps for this part of the world are backpacking across Europe? Mind you, I'm doing it because of traveling my characters are doing, by various means, but still. It's a little odd.

4. The fourth project is the book-length version of Harry & Tarot, which I'm not sure I should put off starting any longer, because about every other day I get a brainstorm about this that I have to write down, and I'm afraid that if I don't get to it soon I'll either lose the notes, forget what some of my abbreviated notes mean, or forget about some other inspiration I had when I didn't have the opportunity to write it down. I know that I should finish the citations on the Games book first, (and I also think I'd like to do the citations as I go along on H & T, so I don't have to worry about that when I'm done), but when I have ideas whirling around my brain it's hard to buckle down and plow through books looking for where Quirrell says that bit about "there is no good or evil" or finding where Ron says what he sees in the Mirror of Erised. :sigh:

At least I'm not on cold medicine anymore. I felt like I could barely keep my eyes open all weekend, and when I'm trying to work on two nonfiction books, write the backstory for one novel and revise the heck out of another, staying conscious for more than fifteen minutes and feeling like actually doing the work, rather than just staring slack-jawed at the television, is a useful thing.

Introducing my new multi-chaptered fic! I'm pretty proud of it, if I do say so myself.

Well being in a completely awesome Pop Culture course I get to write an essay on Fans and Fandom (and I didn't even get to pick the topic! sweet)

I'm seriously considering using Supernatural as my "reference point" for how fandom has evolved since the two articles I have to consider were written (early 90's - one focuses on the Star Trek Fandom specifically)

What I would like to include is some interviews from Kripke and Co. referring to the influence of Fandom on the show and I will be using episodes (like this week) as examples.

so does anyone have any links for me? and if there is interest I'd be willing to post the essay (or the part referring to Supernatural)!!! I'd also have to double check with my prof to make sure that doing that won't put me in violation of plagiarism :p no sense in writing an amazing essay and getting it tossed out because I copied myself *headdesk*

Thanks in advance!
