Won't you come out and play?
Sunday, October 19th, 2025 10:13 amWhat went before ONE: Wrote 1170-ish new words, sketching in that scene. Needs work.
Spent an hour...maybe two hours with my glass project. Needs work.
Back in my office for right now. I may or may not go back to the The! Studio! today, though even if I don't I need to remember to turn off the heaters and the humidifier.
The cats were before me when I got to Steve's Office this morning, Rookie giving me a Look that pretty clearly stated that there would be A Note In My File for coming in late. So far as I know, they're still in Steve's Office. If I wanna go sit in the basement, it's nothing to do with them.
Project to date:

What went before TWO: Sat down in the comfy chair in my office to look out over the Long Back Yard and have a snack, and this happened:
What went before THREE: OK. As reported earlier, did some writing, did some glasswork. I also made the paper edition of Civilized Behavior, but it will not be released until November 6. I also sent the ebook files to Baen, with a request that they publish on November 13, which is the date that the ebook edition will publish at All The Other Vendors.
Everybody confused now?
Yeah, me, too.
The cats all came out to my office to sit with me and I was wranglin' files. Pretty soon, they'll start reminding me that it will Soon! Be! Happy! Hour, but I think I have time to get the clean dishes out of the dishwasher and put away before that Auspicious Hour strikes.
How'd everybody do today?

Sunday. Chilly, cloudy -- no, wait! Here's the sun trying to break through.
Slept a little late this morning, but that's OK, given the exciting week I've got lined up.
Rice and asparagus stir fry for breakfast. Because I Could. Leftovers for lunch.
The two bill-like pieces of mail that came in yesterday, were not in fact bills, so yay.
Yesterday also saw the delivery of another light tube/string. Once I get that up, I'll have three rooms outfitted with LED strings -- the living room, Steve's Office, and my office. This is perhaps excessive. OTOH, the Dark is Rising.
Today's plan is writing, glassworking, one's duty to the cats, reading. Yeah, slacking off again. I'm thinking that I'm way overwriting this book, but -- onward to (an) end, then rest, then Sumo Editing. The Writing Life.
And that? Is all I've got.
Who else is slacking off today?
Today's blog post title brought to you by Siouxsie and the Banshees, "Dear Prudence." (Yes, yes, written by Paul McCartney, thank you.)
