Thud: Above

July 4, 2008 Progress Notes:

Above

Words today: 2000.
Words total: 65,500 MS Word, 79,250 SMF.

79,250 / 85,000 (93.2%)

Reason for stopping: Quota.
Munchies: Pasta and limeade.

Darling du Jour: Violet sang grace in her grace notes and in her regular ones too, because that's where a body keeps grace: in music, so it don't go sour or bad.

Words Matthew Won't Admit to Knowing: subsides. We also had a repeat of the trouble with amends.
Mean Things: Having your life's work taken away through stupid, stupid random shit. And then, after your work, your life.
Research Roundup: Tardive dyskinesia, and along those lines, antipsychotics.
Books in progress: Robertson Davies, The Lyre of Orpheus.
The glamour: Slave of the Book Mines! Also, the returning of the two windowboxes I bought whose brackets don't fit my balcony, and the returning of a dress that makes me look wide. And let me tell you, when I notice something makes me look wide, it is damn apparent.

I strongly doubt I'm actually wrapping this up in just under 6000 words. 10k, maybe. We'll see.

More reviews of Clockwork Phoenix coming in:

A short comment from Matt Staggs.
Nick Gevers at Locus, apparently from next month's issue.
And time_shark is offering e-galleys for anyone interested in reviewing it on their blog.


I have no other bloggable news as of this moment, so I shall retire to bed, and hopefully be more interesting tomorrow. :p Goodnight, internets, and happy Fourth to those of you who celebrate it.

Draft-swell is a problem, but 80 isn't a bad length.

Do you know if amazon.ca has Clockwork, too, or is it just the US site?
