Since my last letter...

rolanniJeebers, what is with the LJ User Profile Page? Is that Ugly or what?
Since my last dispatch, Steve and I have celebrated the 28th anniversary of our wedding (the one with the license, and the Special Words, and the guy at the front door of the courthouse who ill-advisedly taunted me for "forgetting" my "new name" when I stopped at the desk to collect my property). We had dinner at Cacciatore's, the Brand New Italian restaurant in Waterville. It is soooooo nice to have a Real Italian restaurant in the area. Sigh. We'll be returning. Soon, I hope.
I have completed to the best of my ability, polished, and sent on to Mine Editor "my" story for the Yule chapbook. To wit:
"Shadow Partner" final
Also? I got a haircut. Not much of a haircut, since winter's coming on and I want something over my ears and the back of my neck, but -- not so much with the Hedgehog Look.
I did not murder any faculty members, though the provocation in some cases was extreme.
We got Something Pretty in the mail, but I can't show it to you yet.
Non sequitur: Everybody saw Questionable Content today, right?
This weekend will see a return to the Fledgling rewrite, which at the moment stands at:
...because I deleted* the last third of the first draft, the more easily to rewrite it, my dear.
Have conceived of a need to write about Writing as a Profession, but not, I think, tonight, for tonight I am tired and it is raining and HOT. I'm for a sammich, a glass of wine, and an early-to-bed. Tomorrow, we start the Marathon Laundry Event in preparation for Steve's trip to Maryland. Distant Early Warning: There may not be a new chapter of Saltation on November 17.

*It's OK, really. I only deleted those words from the Working File. They're safe elsewhere.
