It is really hard, though. The best advice is to always be working on something new to distract yourself, but it's not like I always take that advice myself, so take that with a grain of salt.
The problem is I'm working on the Cog sequel :). It does help to be working on something else though. That's good advice.

That's a great piece. Thanks, Jesse. Also, WOW on that first edition at AbeBooks.
Would somebody please do a beta-read on the crime story I've just rewritten?
erika, I could possibly next week. This week I'm trying to catch up work-work as well as freelance, as well as finish unpacking this apartment.
Ok, that'd be good. I'll send it Monday or Tuesday, then.(I am trying to send it out, but it's not time-sensitive or anything.)
Erika, I could look at it between now and Monday.
I can still look next week if you want, erika.
