Writing along...

Where are we? Wednesday? That sounds right.

So! Wednesday, sunny and gonna be hot, again. I'd thought that tomorrow I'd declare a Writer's Day Off and go view peonies, but tomorrow the 'beans are calling for thunderstorms. No sense going to a peony farm in a thunderstorm.

Was up and writing a little early, which actually works well for the balance of the day, since I have a noon-time appointment.

Today is an exciting day as the WIP breaks Three Grand! We're currently at +/- 3,340 words, and have visited two master traders at their letters, including one from Master Trader's pin'Aker's cha'leket, who's a fashion designer. And also Midys Herself.

Next up is Jethri at Sactizzy. I hope to get him off of Meldyne as quick as I credibly can.

Steve had gotten hung up with the details of the conference, which -- boy, do I empathize. I had suggested a clean break in one of our how-do-we-make-this-book-work conversations, which he rejected, and, looking through his drafts, I can see why. I think involving the master traders early and getting some of the backstory from them will move things along on Jethri's line, and let him get moving.

I think.

I tell you what -- it's good thing that writing is easy.

I may need to go out this afternoon, and pick up tag board so that my class, if I have a class, can make themselves name cards, just like we do at cons, and thereby make the teacher's life easier. Also should look for some puzzle glue or tape or sticky backing so I can display my jigsaw puzzle and remember that I can too work jigsaw puzzles. It just takes me 15 times longer than anybody else.

So! What's happening on your edge of the world today?

Accomplishments accomplished

And back from Wal*Mart, where I'm becoming a regular, and Washville, where ditto.

Bought the cats ping-pong balls, a scraper, 3M sticky tabs, rubbing alcohol, popcorn (it's been, um, years since I had popcorn), puzzle stickem sheets, fusing material for an embroidery project, and some gel pens, because gel pens travel easier in a pocket or purse than an ink pen.

Came home and used the scraper, alcohol, and sticky tabs to re-affix the dashcam to the windshield. It decided to fall off while I was at the ocean, happily before I put the car in gear, and has refused all attempts to restick it. I'm not entirely sure that the sticky tabs I bought are up to Conditions, but! we can only try.

The cats greeted me at the door and are now hanging around the desk -- apparently somebody put out the rumor that I would feed them when I got home, rather than after got home.

Maybe I'll apply stickem to the back of my puzzle until it actually is time for Happy Hour. There's a plan.

Everybody stay safe. I'll check in tomorrow.
