…to be happy. Again. Still. Whatever. I got pointed at the AV Club’s Kurt Vonnegut tribute again a couple days ago, and could not help, as usual, to notice that people really don’t do enough of this: “I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, ‘If this isn’t nice, I don’t know what is.’” So I like to when I notice I’m happy, which really is quite a lot. I’ve got a family and a job I love, and…

today i have to….
– bring the coat to Mom (& not get blown away doing it) – take chicken out for dinner – work more on the Gary story* – remember it’s okay, even desireable, to eat apples & grapes for snacks instead of other stuff – laundry – pilates *struggling here, as my plan was to use this story as the “Here!

up next: – a Gary short story (3-5K) – a Morrison short story (3-5K) – my bit on “Easy Pickings” (10Kish) – catch up on the Book Race BAHAHAHAHA – re-revise ANGLES to agently commentary (3-5Kish) – 3 retold fairy tales (12Kish) – copyedits for RAVEN CALLS when they arrive (minimal wordcount) – maaaaaaaaaaybe some more Old Races stories (30Kish) down to 2500 words behind schedule. hoping tomorrow goes well for writing.

I am, of course, wrestling with the temptation to JUST SEND THEM ALL OUT because hey, they’re done! But I dunno, I think torturing people by wanting until the actual due…
Friday Hypothetical
I have stolen this idea from /Harry Connolly (whose brilliant 3rd book in the Twenty Palaces series, CIRCLE OF ENEMIES, has just come out, and if you haven’t been reading these books, you really should be. I don’t read much urban fantasy because it’s too much like work, but I really like these books). Anyway, Harry periodically posts hypotheticals to see what people make of them, and I love the idea and have been meaning to nick it for ages, but I only just remembered (again) while at the keyboard,…
