I NEED this book
NON-FICTION: HEALTH
Harvard neurologist Marie Pasinski, M.D.'s BEAUTIFUL BRAIN, BEAUTIFUL YOU, with Jodie Gould, showing how to turn "Bad Brain Days" into "Beautiful Brain Days" -- days when we are at the top of our game mentally, emotionally, and physically; combining research in neuroplasticity (the brain's ability to remodel itself), with lifestyle-changing advice from her Brain Health Initiative in a program that will alter the chemistry of your brain and take years off your mental age and, yes, make you more beautiful, to Gretchen Young at Voice, by Linda Konner.
From Pub Lunch. How soon will it be out?
Not soon enough because I need that right now.
Deadline approaching. Watch out.

Drive by Post
Deadline panic is in full force.
Ack!!!!
That is all.
Oh, and when I bought MacFang (because I suspected my Dell laptop was nearly End Of Life) I gave the Dell to my son. Today, the Dell's hard drive failed.
Well, ok that's bad for him because he was using it a lot. But when it went to turn on his desktop, nothing. Apparently, the video card has failed. On his desktop, that's built into the motherboard. Sigh.
He has a paper due end of the month so I'll be buying him a new laptop. If I have the cash. I need to call my accountant Monday to find out how much estimated tax I have to send to Uncle Sam.

Head Down Writing Hard
The Next Paranormal is due November 1, so I have my head down and my fingers to the keyboard. I may not be posting too often between now and them. We'll see how desperate things get.
Anyway, my tentative title is My Beloved Assassin but they've hated all my titles so far so I expect that to be shot down.
I also need a series title. Carolyn's Paranormal Extravaganza is the best suggestion so far.
Am in big trouble.
Back to work.

I am NOT panicking, seriously
Today I made back most of the words I cut after I realized I needed to rewrite chapters 1 and 2. Things are complexifying. But this is the part where I am besieged by deadline panic. Ack!
I turned off Twitter and my email and put some tunes on. I only wasted time once when I went off to listen to Paolo Nutini on YouTube for a while.
Off to bed!
Bonus picture for the heck of it. Roses are red. Blogger squishes the pictures down quite a bit so they don't look as crisp as the original which you can see here.

Eye been workin' on the Man-u-script
Well, you're supposed to read the post title to the tune of I've been Working on the Railroad. Pretend, OK?
Went to see Harry Potter 5 last night. I was mentally broke from working all day. Great movie! Loved it. A lot. Got to bed at 11:00 pm. Urk.
No soccer practice for the kidlet this week, so I thought, great! I'll get home, abandon all my parental duties and get all my changes from the weekend into the computer and I can resend to one of my readers who just started and will much appreciate having the better middle version. But then at 7:30 I remembered I had to go the soccer board meeting (that's my volunteer job) and I couldn't blow it off because the team gets fined $25.00 if there's no rep at the Board Meeting. Got home from that about 9:00pm, worked for an hour and ended up sending off the revised 1-23. I'll finish up tomorrow.
Sigh.
I had to stop at 23 because the new 24 needs more of an overhaul, and I didn't want to start that this late at night. I have to get enough sleep --- Crud. It's 10:48 pm. Rats. 4:30 is early. I'm off to bed.
