On a lighter note...

Today my goal is to get a few more pages written for Temple of Baltatharon. On top of that I want to get to work on writing The Cunning Mark (first Lucas Moon short story!) even though I haven't finished prewriting it yet. I want to start prewriting and/or writing on Five Views of Survival, an old idea I had originally intended as a short film but that I think might translate better as a story. I need to bring a Lovecraft anthology with The Thing on the Doorstep with me tomorrow so I can decide if I want to work on a new version of that book written from a different character's point of view (yes, yes, I know... I wanted to stay away from the Cthulhu Mythos, but I think I might enjoy the work).

I also want to get started on a piece to submit to White Wolf, as part of their Storyteller Adventure System line. I don't know if they'll want yet another Hunter: The Vigil story (they have more of those posted than anything else), but I like my idea and after reading some of the aweful ones they published... well, I don't think mine can be any worse!

I recently got in contact from an old friend from college, Chris Barnhardt, whom I haven't seen since he joined the military. He's in town this week and mentioned that he'd gotten some stuff of his published by Chaosium, the company who makes the Call of Cthulhu RPG. I need to find what their writing submission guidelines are... not only do they publish RPG stuff, but they also publish new Mythos short story anthologies. They could be a good resource for me.

It's a lot on my plate, but if I stretch it out through the remainder of the week I should be able to handle it. Assuming Jury Duty affords me the time.

I also got a call last night from Safelite (I think it was Safelite... the voicemail was a little garbled) regarding a sales position I applied for a lifetime ago. By the time I heard the voicemail it was too late to return the call, but I'm going to buzz them during the lunch hour and see how they feel about me coming in next week to talk to them.

Oh, and at some point I need to crank out Kill Me Please part three.

Ok. Enough blogging! Work!
