Various, meet Sundry.

I have a headache. I have been staring at the printed word too long. My editor is already asking me about cover scene ideas for the next book, and I'm panicking. It's time to break for lunch and annoy Pandora for a while.

Which Princess Bride Character are You?

Since I really need milk in my coffee, and I'm genetically predisposed to
NOT drink milk, I've broken down and bought soymilk. I hate the stuff on

well in coffee.

The other clue that you're a freelancer, whih I exemplified last week, is
when you're 20 minutes early for a lunch date, and you scout out a Starbucks
so you can glom a table and get some work done. With your cell phone out
and within reach Just In Case.

I hate being a stereotype.

On the other hand, I remember days when I was doing the office routine,
seeing the people who were having long lunches, and walking their dogs,
and generally Not Being 9-5, and thinking "that... would be nice."

It is. :-)

And another 1500 words done on Retrievers #2, and I was feeling twitchy and energized throughout much of the scene. That's always a good sign.
