The Writing Life
Sunday, April 18th, 2004 06:56 pmWe now have a good half-dozen novel ideas to send along to Madame the Agent. Will look them over again tomorrow after doing the gym thing and fully expect to email the batch shortly thereafter.
The revision letter for the second Jen Pierce mystery ought to be hitting my desk RSN; and the _Crystal Soldier_ notes are in.
My brain is feeling a bit squishy, but it's a good squish.
In and around it all, laundry was done, cats were skritched, minor numbers of bills were paid, and dishes are about to be done. In fact, I'd intended to get up a couple minutes ago, but Mozart is trying out this new box-by-the-computer arrangement and I want him to get a fair trial (not that we spoil the cats in this house, or anything). If he accepts the box as a fair substitute for my lap while I'm working, then neither one of us will have to put up with my typing with his chin on my wrist. He'll be close to get his pets; and, tall as he is, all he has to do is sit up to read (and he does) the screen -- aha. Patia is being fed in the kitchen, and there goes Mo. I'm a free woman.
Dishes, check. Dinner, check. Movie? Maybe.
Later.
