Well, I got another one of those five checks -- sort of.
I was dilatory in sending back my contract for "Meiyo," my Classic BattleTech story for Battlecorps.com -- but I did send it on 18 November.
It's now 9 January, and no check yet, even though it should really only take 30 days.
Tonight, I was told they could just PayPal me the money. Which they did.
A classic case of how the mills grind slowly and how they grind quickly, all at the same time!
These two checks mean rent can be paid, which is critical. Now I just need enough to show up that I can pay for the Arisia rental car..................................
Got some revision notes from Blizzard on Chapter 1 of Ghost Academy Volume 1. This weekend will be spent both incorporating those revisions and writing Chapter 2 (and maybe Chapter 3, if time permits).
The only other items on the weekend agenda are karate-related: class today and Kagami Biraki tomorrow morning. The latter is our discipline-wide new year's workout (see more here and here.)
