thus, and thus.
Nov. 19th, 2009 04:17 pmWell, I managed to get my minimum word count today, mainly by sneaking up on it. Stealth writing FTW. But minimum is not much to crow about. It was a good and useful transition scene, though, and got me through to the 10,000 point. I'm not displeased.
I also took possession of the last shipment of wine from California. And yet, I still need to buy wine for Thanksgiving. I'm thinking something South American.
I had thoughts about something I wanted to blog about...but I don't remember what it was. Am working on the agent-and-neurosis blog, though.
Nothing to say about the "Harlequin Horizons" set-up that I haven't already said elsewhere, mainly "RUFKM? Srsly?" If everyone's lucky, they'll find the coffers not filling up, and will shut this disaster down with a minimum of time and fuss. I feel bad for the legit authors who are caught up in the RWA shunning, and for all the folk who work at Harlequin who have to deal, once again, with Corporate asshattery they had nothing to do with. Walking the company line is hard; I remember and empathize.
Other than that... my brain is either broken, or it's working really hard on something it hasn't shared with me yet. No idea which.
Maybe I need to go cook something. And pick a caption contest winner...
EtA: opened a bottle of the Papapietro Perry 2006 Zin. Oh. Yeah. That's what I'm talking about! A nose of faint violets and pepper, the color of black cherries, and a clear, supple flavor of blackberry and plum jam without the thickness of said jam, the front and back taste bringing forward more of the cracked white pepper to liven it up. You can tell what they did with this wine, making it in the Pinot Noir style, and I think it really paid off.
