Sandra and I had our usual planning meeting, and she went all “art director” on me and outlined this week’s tasks:

• Design new banners for the GenCon booth
• Write & illustrate two weeks of Schlock Mercenary
• Finish my two pages of the Massively Parallel bonus story

Here are the things she left off the list:

• See Guardians of the Galaxy
• Review it
• See it again, because I hope it’s that good
• Dress in steamy sorts of clothes and hit Salt City Steamfest for an afternoon and evening
• Eat sushi with our editor friend who is coming to town
• Sleep
• Chase distracting things into the weeds. Catch them. Toy with them. Eat them. Repeat.

Wish me luck. I can already see rustling in the weeds.
