Between my shoulder hurting and this deadline I’ve been feeling a little grumpy.

Daughter: Don’t forget you had PMS last week, too.

Me: Yeah, thanks. We wouldn’t want to forget that.

I think that’s the way my brain looks like on the inside. Thoughts that should string together in some kind of sense are wandering around bumping into each other and giving me a headache.

I’m finishing Smoke Screen, due out in January, so I have a really close deadline. I’ve had deadlines for revisions before, but this is my first book deadline. I’ve got laundry hidden in every closet and dishes piled in the sink. My husband calls every night to ask if he’s picking up chinese or pizza (good man). There’s definitely a reason it’s called a deadline, and I’m pretty sure it’s because if anybody messes with me while I’m working, they’re dead.

I’m guessing after I get the manuscript in the mail to my editor next week that someone’s going to have to peel me off the sand at the beach, because I’m not moving voluntarily.
