lagilman: coffee or die (Default)

Spent all day today trying to push through and get last details done and loose ends tied up, and I'm still not done, damn it. The yays today have seriously been outweighed by the boos. Thankfully they've all been of the minor pinch-boos rather than anything dire, so I'm going to call that a Yay.

I was kinda bummed to get a rejection in the mail on a short story -- never mind that I didn't think it would result in a sale first time out, you always, quietly, hope. Tomorrow, after some thought, it will go out again. Because that part of the game never changes.

EtA: and the best phrase of the day comes from Madame Editrix: "crises fairies" As in "The crises fairies are exhausted now, and will leave you alone."


So.. what's a major yay in the world? Anything? Come on, somebody's had to have had a YAY! day....

We're sitting in front of a roaring fire at the moment. That's kinda "yay"

I caught up to my goal in NaNo today by writing 4434 words! Yay! And I finally got to order my Kindle! Double Yay!

I managed work-related productivity for the first time all week. I suppose that's a yay of the "not-boo" variety.

A comics project I can't talk about may or may not have a really cool artist attached to it.

And I got a check in the mail today. That's all I got. *grin*

Today I heard I'm going to have a second review in Locus come December, which I'm pretty excited about. (Hope it's positive.)

And I'm still yay-ing over making PW's Best of 2009 (http://www.publishersweekly.com/article/CA6704595.html) list.

I'm going to get to see a good friend this weekend, my mom next week, and another good friend the week after that. I've got lots of anticipation YAY!, does that count?

Oh, and I've been watching this and giggling.

My best friend from the States arrived on Wednesday and is staying until Monday morning. I have known her since high school so this is a big YeeHaw!
