Five Things on the Summer Solstice

rolanni1. It's cloudy, windy and damp, highs predicted around 65F/18C. Summer in Maine; you gotta love it.
2. Yesterday, we built one bookshelf, today we build another. Who would have thought that a folding bookshelf needs two people (with optional coon cat) to assemble it? I can't wait for the chest of drawers.
3. A late-reporting beta reader noticed a discrepancy in Mouse and Dragon that got past everybody else, most notably the authors. Will fix this morning and send in Amended Manuscript. Embarrassing, but not as embarrassing as having the Wrong Thing get into print.
4. I got a raise at the day-job! Something under ten bucks a week. Before taxes.
5. Remember! Tuesday is Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Day.

Optional
Date: 2009-06-21 09:13 pm (UTC)I didn't think coon cats were optional.
Every job in a home with cats needs a fore-cat.
Depending on the number of cats in the house there may be more than one.
Number three might not have happened if one of your three had a chance to proof read it.
They might have found the title Mouse and Dragon a little distracting though.
Fantasy and Science Fiction Day
Date: 2009-06-21 09:32 pm (UTC)Scifi/fantasy is my favorite genre. I'm looking forward to celebrating the day. I'm planning to review the first published Star Wars book, plus I'm having several discssuons in my website forum Cafe Blue. I hope you can visit.
