In which work goes forward and the cats are groomed

So! Twenty percent of the Penultimate Manuscript is now Ultimate Manuscript!  Hoping to do much better today.

In other news, the Coon Cats predict that!  Winter is Coming.  You heard it here, first.

Spent some of this morning trying to find out from Nook why the payment for June sales has yet to arrive in our checking account.  It should have arrived on Sunday night, but Nook is always taken by surprise by the sudden -- and, indeed, unannounced -- appearance of Bank Holidays, so I figured it would show up on Tuesday...or Wednesday...or certainly by Thursday.

But, no.

And, it turns out that the folks on Nook Support Live Chat can only cut'n'paste from the FAQ, which I can -- and did -- read for myself, thanks.  They can't tell me if June payments have been disbursed, that question has to be bumped upstairs to some Top Secret Office which answers its mail in three days, honest.

I dunno.  Most places where I've had day-jobs, if it suddenly came to the attention of the Accounting Department that a Bank Holiday has hoved and/or hoven outta the mist, they cut paychecks the day before the holiday.  You'd figure that Nook's Accounting Department might be that smart, but maybe I'm naive.

Today is bright and breezy, and supposed eventually to get warmish, but right now....*kisses her fingertips*

And!  I'm for the couch, and the other 80% of the manuscript.

What're you doing today that's fun?

After thinking about descriptions, I think the most useful for the illustrator are the most general - Miri's size and hair color/braid, and things like common clothing colors. I wish I had time to go back through the books for examples, but I seem to have too many balls in the air at the moment ;/
