It’s Friday!

1. I had a great time watching the older kids pretend to be Michelangelo. I taped paper to the underside of the card table and they crawled in and painted pictures. Sir I. also sculpted a boat out of a bar of soap (and a manta ray-turned-into-a-pile of wood–that’s what happened to the first bar of soap I gave him).

2. It was a bit of a struggle, but I got Rainbird into beta-readable shape and sent it off to a friend who confirmed that it really needs to be a novella–which means it’s not going to be ready to be submitted on Sunday. Bummer, but that’s the way it goes, sometimes.

3. Since I pushed through to the bitter end of Rainbird, I can play Torchlight with minimal guilt.

4. The public areas of my house are nice and clean. Why, yes, we did have people over for dinner last night. How did you guess??

5. Tomorrow’s Saturday, and I have no plans for the day. Hooray for vast expanses of unscheduled time!

How’s your week been? What are your plans for the weekend?

    So, you had novella inklings already? I was worried that comment would be way off the mark, but I’m glad to see it wasn’t! 🙂

    Yes, I knew I had the two different story arcs and wasn’t doing justice to either. You told me what I already suspected and wasn’t willing to acknowledge because that would mean a) massive reworking and b) (more importantly) missing the CP deadline! But I needed to hear it from someone else, so thank you for being honest as usual!

    Megs,

    No just a short story that needs to be turned into a novella. I’m barely 25K into the book I was working on before I turned my attention to Rainbird.

    Well, that’s a relief. LOL I’m not completely behind. But I do need to get writing anyway. I have a guest blog post, three whopping reviews, a book, and a drabble to write. (Hmm…Next time I don’t think I’ll mention them all and overwhelm myself.) 🙂

    But don’t you just love making lists so you can tick things off? 😀
