The music's callin'
Sunday, September 14th, 2025 12:02 pmWhat went before: Coon Cat Happy Hour arrives just as I'm finishing up the new Chapter-by-Chapter. Tomorrow, I've got some planning, and some writing to do.
Everybody stay safe; I'll see you tomorrow.

Cookie break!
Sunday. Sunny and warm.
Breakfast was -- what was breakfast? Ah! I know -- banana and grape "fruit salad" whole grain toast with cream cheese. Lunch will be a sweet potato in one form or another. I'm favoring stir-fried with onion and garlic at the moment, and maybe the chicken I have left over.
I finished filling out the attendees form for the book fair, and was rewarded with a page offering up an email address, in case I had questions, which of course I had questions, so I wrote. And received a lightning response. I am relieved to learn that there will be strong young persons standing by at the site to help schlepp. Also, I may be accepted by the event's official retailer to be one of those present for whom they will graciously do the arithmetic, make the change, run the cards, and so forth. So I may not need to get a Stripe/Square. OTOH, p'rhaps I should. For Science. Or something. Oh. For Preparedness. Often more to the point than Science.
So, bottom line: It looks like the book fair is a Go, and now I need to bug poor Jason at Baen for table toppers, and post cards and ... stuff.
In cat news, I brought Firefly with me into the bedroom last night, and she tried to sleep on my ankles, but eventually retired to the top of the dresser, which -- at least she bore me company. Tali and Rook both checked in during the night, and I think Tali actually spent, like, twenty minutes up against my knee before Duty, or crunchies, Called.
Somewhat surprisingly, it's Tali who's decided that she can take on copilot duties.
I have a couple more letters to write, then lunch, then it's time to write. I get to write a Fun! Scene! as a reward for having finished the Chapter-by-Chapter yesterday.
Oh! My birthday present to my self was a purple earring keeper, which is sparkly and very nice, but it needed something. Turns out the something it needed was Minerva. Thanks BaltiCon!
How's everybody doing today?
