In God We Trust
Thursday, May 13th, 2004 08:22 pmSRM Publisher was low-to-out of a Significant Number of chapbooks, and a trip to the printer was mandated. The printer is 40 miles away in the Big City; it was a gorgeous, seasonal day (59 degrees F); we had planning and outlining work to do. So, I fired up Sabu and took notes while we brainstormed, fit Tab A into Slot B, and got to know the characters a little better.
After dropping the printing off, since we were in the city, and the check that arrived yesterday was burning a hole in our pockets -- we went shopping.
Steve scored several pairs of very nice jeans in his new, smaller size; I scored a mini-LED light which is now hanging from the inside zipper of my handbag, so that I can see what's lurking down there. Yes! Also a Timex Indiglo travel alarm clock that folds flat. No more dealing with the idiosyncrasies of hotel alarm clocks!
We hit the Barnes and Noble and bought a bunch of books, including Michelle Hauf's Seraphim, which I'm really looking forward to reading. Over at the pet store, the cats made out like bandits, with a new wire brush and a new sisal scratching post (now maybe Scrabble will leave my poor, shabby sofa in peace). Best part is that, it was all on sale.
Justly exhausted after all that shopping, we had lunch at the new Longhorn Steak House -- a crab cake sandwich for Steve, salmon and caesar salad for me.
Drove home the long way, with more brainstorming and note-taking. All told, we've got a good bit of groundwork laid for the book. I'm pleased. Tomorrow, I'll spend some time putting the notes in expanded order and then we'll go over the bits we missed and the new questions raised by answering the old questions.
Going to go read, now...
