The Longest Short Week on Record

[rolanni]

I don't know about y'all, but every single day of this week crawled like a rattlesnake in January. Things were so slow, in fact, that my senses were stupefied and all like that, whereupon I am now startled to discover that it is already Saturday evening.

Sigh. While time is convenient for keeping track of which ingredients need to go into the souffle first, it has its bad points, too.

So, anyway, Saturday. I figured out this morning that my office here at home was so messy I hated being in it, which is no good if you're, like, trying to write a novel in here, so I spent a couple hours this morning tidying up, revealing that I not only have at least large portions of floor, but Actual Tabletop. This comforts me, and now I no longer feel that I've been exiled to the backest corner of the junkyard.

This morning I also realized that Line A was taking Too Damn Long to intersect with Line B and if I didn't do something Radical, we were all going to be here until the next ice age, so I have duly gone forth and done something Radical. I am Cautiously Optimistic. Note to self: Next time you need to have two characters meet, do not begin the story with them on opposite sides of the kingdom. Honestly; you'd think you'd know stuff like this by now.

While I was goofing off, kinzel was productive; you may partake of the fruit of his genius over here.

On the weather front, the snow is almost gone, melted and rained upon and despised. It's a right mess out there, what with the mud and the dry grass and the rest of it. I had so hoped for a consistent snow cover until, oh, March...

We're of a mind. Yesterday I attacked the clutter in my office. Isn't all gone yet. There's more that needs to get gone. I've got to stop keeping stuff that I'll never use/look at/want just because it's in too good of condition to throw out or give away. I sent a huge load of books away with a friend, and intend to do it again as soon as I can force myself to let go. Which meant that I actually found books and organized them so that say, for instance, your books weren't in three different places. I am far more relaxed and creative when I have space.

To what are we adding said mineral?
The wounds of waiting, perhaps?
Will there be further explanation or is there perhaps a letter missing?

I am desperate to know

Oooh, kinzel is brilliant, but we all knew that:) I love that picture. Can't wait to see what Theo is getting into next!

And no, my week has not been slow, alas. It's gone by far too quickly.

Ooh, good title. I had a trip to the dictionary. I was impressed.

I'm excited to see what that bodes for the story.
