rolanniLast word from Steve was that he was still driving. That was, oh, 12:30-ish, I guess.
Man, today would have been The Perfect Day to defrost the work refrigerator. I was good for nothing else. Four whole days basically concentrated on one task that is not any of the tasks that I perform at the day-job makes for an...interesting day in the so-called Real World.
On the writing front, a slow word day; still working out the last few bumps in the narrative. I do have the last scene written; there two -- maybe three -- additional scenes to write, and then I can take a day or two off and read somebody elses' books before I start in the revision pass.
Finding out that summer is starting a week earlier than planned is actually a good thing for this book (if a not-exactly wonderful thing for the household finances); I'll have five days in a row for a couple of weeks to have nothing but the book in my head. This may sound scary, and probably is, but to me, a relief.
Come to think of it; extending the end of summer (while not-exactly wonderful &c, as above) may very well be good for Carousel Tides, due at Baen on September 15. Sigh. What was I thinking?
The wind is up and the clouds are coming in. The weatherbeans are sticking with their cold and rainy story, and somewhere, out there, is a man in a silver Subaru, driving north.
