It’s a good sign

That the laundry room will be open when you have to battle through cobwebs to get down the stairs.

Ick.

In other news, the summer sickness continues, today with nasty sore throat. All joints hurt, and my abbreviated Oatmeal was a near thing. Sounds like the perfect night to play cards, yes it does.

I have completed another cycle, and this mornings weigh in shows a surprise -11 from last Tuesday, the “real” total.

Well how about that.

I could do without the stomach flu, though. Yes, yes I can.

I got a surprising amount of sleep this morning, nearly 10 hours in two shifts. Now I know the sickness has me full in its thrall. Given that the previous record for the week was 4, I’m taking this as a good sign.

First comments are coming back on B.1, and they are generally what I was expecting. This week I’ve also been working on a setting for another book, and I have most of the major characters set out already. I’m putting this one on the work files section next to the Space Opera outline, but this might be my NaNoWriMo attempt for the year.

Next week begins the third and final pass at B.1, so if you have a copy extant, I’d appreciate comments as soon as you can get them to me. I plan to submit to the target market before the end of the month.

4:45 PM

More or less took the day off from writing, but while walking after lunch I had several realizations about how to frame B.2.

Then I played some video games, fixed a one word error in B.1 that I had somehow neglected this past week, then started watching a Star Trek episode.

By the time it was done, I turned the 5 “orphaned” chapters into an outlined plot of 18, and managed to work back in a geopolitical division, an outlaw philosophy, and a day player who was last seen going mad, Mad, MAD!

ahem.

Not the worst day of work in the world. Think I’ll play video games again in a bit, after I add some dates to the timeline.

P.S. I totally ate those crackers that were mocking me. Now I really need to shop for food tomorrow, an activity already on the docket.

P.P.S. Any bets as to how much the Mariners will lose by tonight?

P.P.P. MFS! There has been no nap since my previous post. I haz cranky.
