Actually, morning keeps not coming as early as it should. I keep waking right up at 6 or 6:30 and for some reason I’m not getting out of bed. It’s warm, it’s snuggly, I’ll just lie here a few more minutes, that sort of typical thing. And then it’s 7:30. Hrmph. Must do better than that if I’m planning a marathon writefest over the last two weeks of the month. I like today’s photo a lot. My sister is so cool. :) This weekend I’m going up to Blackrock to…
reviving an old project
I whinge a lot about not drawing enough, or not being a good enough artist, so I’ve decided I’m going to revive an old project of mine that never went very far, 1000 Drawings. My original idea–which also fell by the wayside quite rapidly–was that what I needed to do in order to actually become any good at art is just keep drawing the same damned thing until I got it, and then move on to another piece. (This icon is one of maybe 3 pieces I actually did that…
don juan triumphant!
PHOENIX revisions are all but finished. I need to rewrite the epilogue so my editor doesn’t kill me for how the story ends, and I still need to fix the bit earlier in the book which may or may not cause shockwaves, but it’s essentially done.

I also not only walked to the store, but walked the dog on a longer walk than we usually go on, and…
thinks to do
Yesterday’s thinks list was very effective. I may have to start posting these every morning, just for my own clarity of mind. Possibly I should lock them up so nobody else has to read them, but that might diffuse their effectiveness. thinks to do today: 1. finish PL revisions 2. take myself on a walk to the store for some lotion Other thinks that would also be good include more laundry, cleaning the kitchen, and not eating too much junk food. These, one imagines, become perennial on such a list,…
not bad.
I got more than halfway through the ms. Probably not 60%, definitely not 75%, but more than halfway, which is acceptable. There’s a thing I need to go back and change, but it won’t cause too many shock waves. I think. I hope. Anyway. Still got more than 50% of it done, shockwaves or not. Also walked to the post office, cleaned the kitchen (mostly) and did (some) laundry. Not bad at all. Go me. I decided earlier today that when the graham crackers I’ve got are gone I wanted…
