And the Dare
resumes
Of
course, barring a miracle of papal proportions, there's no way in
hell I'm going to make 60,000 words by the end of the month. Well,
this was a nasty month in which to try something like this, anyway
-- I'm still kinda pleased with the progress I've made so far. I
figure if I can end the month with 30,000 words, I'll be happy.
I
also want to try and get something done for the SFF Net anthology
before it closes at the end of the month. I had a page of something,
but it just wasn't working the way I wanted. And then I had a most
stupendous brainstorm at work -- typed the outline directly into
an email, sent it home, and it's already halfway done. If I get
enough free time this week, I may even be able to get it finished
by the weekend, which would be faboo. Even if that doesn't work
out, I sholuld be able to get it in to SFF Net before the deadline.
As
for the house, it's looking better and better. The offices still
looks like Aerosmith camped out in there, but that's actually okay
-- I'd rather have those rooms used as the staging area for moving
stuff back and forth while I get the bedroom and bathrooms cleared
out. Ideally I wanted to have my office ready for Stacy to sleep
in, but it looks like she'll probably be camping out on the sofa
instead. The nice thing is that I have most of the videotapes out
of their boxes and sitting on inexpensive white plastic racks (I
think they were originally designed for bathroom use, but if you
stack them two high they work fine as video racks), and the British
TV/VCR is up and running, so if we get tired we can always flop
out and watch cable or rental movies.
