alexpgp | The plan...

To be sure, not as elegant as the plan in the palindrome "A man, a plan, a canal - Panama!" but a plan nonetheless!

I have gotten about as far today with editing as I did yesterday (which is not saying much). As I write this, I have just a hair over 11,000 words left to eyeball and correct, and about 3,000 words to translate (don't ask), not to mention two items to write for LJ Idol (where, at least, the deadline is Monday night). All the rest of this bill-paying bushwa is due Monday morning.

Apropos of which, I should mention that the two subjects for LJ Idol - "The End of My Rope" and a "Current Events" piece about a story published online - seem to align well with a recent post wherein I described an incident that occurred during an assignment some time ago, and another post where I refer to a news story that I ran across yesterday.

The primary question is the one asked by Dirty Harry: "Do I feel lucky?"

This is not to say I would submit either post as a finished product, but to use either (or both) as raw material? Je ne sais pas... c'est bien possible!

But I digress... et bien, revenons à nos moutons...

The Plan is this:

* Tonight
   - Edit another 1500 words or so (3 hr)
   - Translate 1000 words (2 hr)
   - Give some thought to LJ Idol items, if I am still conscious.
* Tomorrow
   - Edit 5000 words (7-8 hr)
   - Translate 1000 words (2 hr)
   - Do some LJ Idol scribbling, if I am still conscious.
* Sunday
   - Finish the editing (7-8 hr)
   - Finish the translation (2 hr)
   - Write first draft for LJ Idol items, if I am still conscious.
* Monday
   - Send finished work.
   - Invoice finished work.
   - Finalize LJ Idol items.

Or is this post actually going to be my entry for "The End of My Rope"? ¿Quién sabe...??

Cheers...
