leahbobetFebruary 17, 2009 Progress Notes:
Above
Pages today: 24.
Pages total: 24/363. Yep, it's bigger. It's in SMF now.
Reason for stopping: That's chapter 1 down, and too much more than a chapter a night at this level of pickywork (tm) seems like pushing it.
Munchies: Lamb/basil/feta sausages and spinach salad with blueberries. And some mandarin oranges for dessert.
Books in progress: Robert Graves, The Long Week-end; Patricia C. Wrede, Calling on Dragons.
The glamour: Lease-renewing for the Casa, dayjobbery, and prodigious groceries. Also, the Hunt forRed October Misti International Alpaca Sport #1026. It's a very loffly yarn, and I need at least one more skein if I'm going to not have the nice vest thing I'm knitting just sort of trail off in a haze of alpaca. I don't even care if the dye lot matches at this point, seriously.
Yup, it's this again. Every time you think it's done, there's one more revision in the old girl. *kicks tires*
(Okay, actually after this I am sending its ass out. I have deputized some Draft Police* to rip it from my cold dead hands if I don't actually get queries out of here by March or so. Because I have a notion that I could probably tinker with this for a verrrry long time if left to my own devices, and that is not the way we get the nice book in print. One more draft. Out.)
Also, yet another review come down the pipe (I seem to get an awful lot of reviewage for what feels like not that much fiction published last year): "Bell, Book, and Candle" gets a shoutout in Rich Horton's year-end summary for Norilana anthologies.
And now, since I have a great many blueberries, I believe I shall make some muffins before bed.
*Writer, drop your draft, it's Draft Police!
