Happy Beltane, a little late

Happy Beltane, a day late.
So close to the end of A LICK OF FROST that it’s almost painful. Every day this week I thought I’d be done, but instead I’m over four hundred pages and still going. Maybe tomorrow will see it through.
The toads in the water garden are having a convention. Jon just counted 21 of them. It’s a record number.
Tomorrow afternoon instead of getting to work on the new novel/novel-lite about Jason stuff, I think I’ll have to clear out all the e-mails and other misc. stuff that has been too long on the desk. I was hoping I’d be completely done with FROST before I took time to do busy work, but some busy work comes with deadlines. Sigh.
One of the things I’ve noticed is that the more successful you are at your chosen business, the more stuff comes along to interfere with the actual doing of the business that made you successful in the first place.
