Hey Folks,
Well, it’s Sunday as I write this, but I won’t post it until Monday, after I’ve written something. I only opened the boilerplate today to add the first bit in “Of Interest.” I’ll add others (if any) tomorrow before I post.
Okay, now it’s Monday morning. The first thing I did was revise my “The Original Heinlein’s Rules” post (I added 450 words) and scheduled it for May 29 over on the big blog. When it pops up, I hope you’ll read it. It’s considerably different from when I posted it here back on March 9.
Editing this morning. I didn’t quite finish the copyedit I’m working on. After that I hope to have the enegy to return to my WIP. This edit’s kind’a draining me.
Well, the best-laid plans…. The edit all but exhausted me. I finished it at around noon and planned to go back to the Hovel and write, but I just don’t have it today.
Maybe tomorrow, though anything I get done will have to be done in the morning. So we’ll see. I have two heard doctors. One is the plumber and one is the electrician. (grin) Apppointment in Tucson tomorrow early afternoon with the electrician. All routine.
Anyway, I’ll get this out and then I’m taking the rest of the day off.
See you again soon.
Of Interest
See James Scott Bell’s “What Should I Expect From My First Novel?” at https://killzoneblog.com/2018/03/what-should-i-expect-from-my-first-novel.html. I recommend reading with a salt shaker close at hand.
