There are all kinds of good weekends.  Some weekends might include day trips or quick getaways, family events, concerts, or lazy summer days spent poolside, barbecuing former animals and sipping Smithwicks. Mine was nothing like that at all, but it was a good weekend nonetheless.  

I got a bunch of springtime yard work done, hammered out a cover design proposal for the upcoming graphic novel with my co-writer and editor, did a bunch of work on the script (which I'll finish and send today), compiled my 2007 writing-related expenses on an Excel spreadsheet  in preparation for doing the tax return Schedule C, did some work on another spreadsheet that compiles sales info from all my royalty statements (I input data back to 2002--only ten more years to go!), and read two novels--the second and third Dexter novels by Jeff Lindsay.  (Very creepy and quirky, and almost as good as the Showtime TV series based on the first book.)  I also locked down a detailed writing schedule for April and compiled my work/personal/home TO DO list for the coming week.  In short, I'm feeling focused, organized, and productive, ready to tackle the new month and gleefully beat it into abject, bloody submission. 

Today's plan:  finish the first draft of the script for the Worlds of DnD graphic novel, write a short-short that's due today, meet with my co-writer to work on the thriller we're writing on spec.  

That is all.
