Oh Saturday, will we be friends?
May. 28th, 2011 10:07 amToday is the first day in nine that I don't have to be anywhere/making nice to people. It would be almost like a vacation - except all this WORK that has to be done, including signing the finished copies of DRAGON VIRUS that came - all three boxes of 'em.
I was looking at it and saying to a friend "it's such a little thing, to pack such an emotional punch" and said friend gave me a Look, like "are you talking about the book, Gilman, or...?"
Yeah, okay. :-D
[I love this project so much. After many 100,000+ word novels, remembering that a scant 20,000 words can be equally effective in moving people is... nice. Yes.]
Anyway, this morning before the work starts (and the temps increase), I took the bike down to the local Greenmarket, returning triumphant with greens and roots and cheese. None of the bread looked particularly must-have, tho, so I may be making flatbread this afternoon to have with the cheese.
And I discovered that wine-sellers at Greenmarkets are Very Crafty. They a) know that a 3-pack box will just exactly fit on the back rack of an adult bike and b) cunningly have a box of short bungee cords to loan, to strap said box to said rack.
I declined.
And now, there are words to polish and books to sign and material to edit and it all has to be done TODAY because Sunday and Monday really ARE a vacation. Yay!
How are y'all spending the (USAn-long) weekend?
