THUD. Thunderbird Falls (or as I typed it a minute ago, Thudnerbird Falls, which made me and Trip laugh a lot) is submitted. Et voi fucking la, baby. I have now turned in everything that has a due date, except COYOTE DREAMS, which isn’t due until *March*, so no prollem. Goals for the remainder of August: do back cover copy. Finish PL proposal. Work on websites. Work on the house. And READ. READ, READ READ READ READ. Did I mention READ? miles to Mount Doom: 51
Ok, so…

It is due “in the middle of August”. This is still the middle of August. *determined look* Then back cover copy for TBF and CR, and then, By God, I Am Going To Catch…
Idiosyncratic? Me? Nah.
Deborah tagged me to do this five idiosyncracies meme thing, so here we go: 1. I believe everyone likes me. If they don’t, I regard it something being wrong with them, not me. 2.
