I’m about to be very busy.

Some time ago, I partnered my little (barely started) startup web design company with my aunt’s. I jumped on board as a web designer AND social media consultant since — I say this quite modestly — I am pretty nasty at community building on social networking sites, and in general. More than one comment on this blog certified me for the position. (I’m totally kidding here.)

ANYWAY.

At the moment, we have two HUGE clients who need websites done by January. I’m going to be building a WordPress site (yay) and my aunt is doing a static HTML/CSS site. After the latter is done, I’m going to be doing a huge three month long social media push for the same client.

Goodbye, money worries. Hello, code tinkering. Sigh. I’ll wipe the drool from my face when I’m done thinking about all of the nerdy goodness of this career.

But where, my inner editor asks, does THE NOVEL fit into all of this?

I promised her that it would indeed still get finished. I will indeed still get to 50,000 words for NaNoWriMo (I’m currently at 45k). I’ll even start editing it still. But the going is going to be a little slower now; you try explaining to a client that their website isn’t finished yet because your characters need you. I dare you.

I don’t often write about stuff like this here, but sometimes I just can’t contain myself and have to share. Not that, you know, the design of this blog is any proof to the fact that I am, indeed, a good web/WordPress designer. (I solemnly swearwill try to make it MINE when my big projects are over at the end of January!) Another personal project I’ve been working on, Freaking Bookworm, will have to wait, too. (It’s about halfway done. Oops.) I’d like to think that I’ll still work on it a little at a time, but we’ll see.
