Saturday business with coon cats and yam

[rolanni]

Business First: Amazon allows me to know that the paper edition of Civilized Behavior "is scheduled for release on 11/13/2025. On this date, your book’s detail page will become visible to readers to purchase your book on Amazon everywhere you have territory rights at 12:00 a.m. UTC." This release is concurrent with the ebook release.

So, that's a thing.

Saturday. Dim and damp. Up at 6:15, breakfast bar and tea at the desk.

I hit a rough patch in the WIP, where I wobbled a bit. I removed two scenes, which has gotten me back on-course. The irony is that one of those was a touchstone scene that I started the book knowing I had to include. Proving yet again that writing is a Science.

Ahem.

Taking a break now to get myself some lunch -- I'm thinking the yam, an onion, garlic, maybe a can of white potatoes, too (so I can have leftovers tomorrow, for breakfast, maybe, with an egg), sauteed, and cottage cheese on the side.

After, I'll do my duty to the cats and get back with the WIP.

I hereby give myself permission to not finish the read-through today. Yes, I know that was The Plan, but it's no sense bringin' killin' into it.

The cats have been Very Much Approving of me spending more time in Steve's office, so that's another thing. I'm enjoying having a dedicated writing, and only writing, computer, and a space that's not cluttered with Business I Have To Get To, so this was actually a Good Move.

Last night, I worked late to get the first 200 pages read, then collapsed into bed after my dinner, and put Black Cat Jazz on 'way low. All of the cats joined me and we just sorta zoned out and purred..

So, that's what's happening around here. What's happening with you?
