Editing/Writing Spree

Man, I'm dead.

I got back from vacation + flying on Saturday evening and proceeded to spend ALL of Sunday and Monday reading, editing, writing, and just now-- htmling/posting. I even stayed up late and got up early, although that wasn't really on purpose. (What the hell? When on vacation I just wanted to sleep in and kept getting woken up, and then when I can sleep in here, I'm all, "7 am on a Sunday? I'M UP!" Yet on weekdays this doesn't happen. Curse you, sleep cycle! Curse youuuu!)

However, here are my (impressive?) list of accomplishments:

*I reread/edited chapters 17-31 in Afterimage (yes, all 14)
*I finished the scene in chapter 30 which was really only working with/writing about 9 pages but still
*I HTML'ed chapters 17-19, then posted them on our site and AFFN, then wrote/released the newsletter and put links/an FYI on my lj as well
*I got caught up on the forum and updated the chapter status post
*I changed some narration to flow better and updated a few scenes in a few chapters along the way, then posted my reply in chapter 31

..I felt like there was something else but I don't know, maybe that's it. Whatever the case, holy shit were my eyes hurting by about 7 pm today. It was one reason I initially said I didn't know if we'd be posting tonight because I had such a throbbing head/eye ache that I had to step away from the computer and Sonny was busy with homework so he couldn't do anything. (Not to mention, to be fair, he html'd/released 16 and we generally try to alternate)

So! I guess I did good this weekend although I'm super tired now. And I work tomorrow =( Vacations are so much nicer because I get to wake up whenever... not to mention we were in a warm climate so it was all, "Where's my swimsuit? TO THE BEACHMOBILE!" for about a week. Whereas here it's like, "Well, shit, where'd my ice scraper go and do I have enough time to warm up my car?"

But I missed my comforts (read: computer) and most of the week I really wanted to work on the story. Which is probably why I was able to focus so intently on it when I returned.

About the latest release -- you guys lucked out, yo! Originally it was supposed to be chapters 16-18. But then because of all these shenanigans, 16 was released like normal but during the delay, we thought about it more and both agreed that 19 just didn't make sense to go with the next arc. So that's why you got a bonus chapter this week.

Also, it's sort of a gift for ... these chapters happening around Valentine's Day. And that's all I'll say about that so there are no spoilers.

Wow...falling asleep....
