lagilmanCats fed. Self cleansed. Coffee made (dark and sweet, and lots of it). Rough draft of DOWN INTO DARKNESS printing. (cat removed from warm printer). Various and sundry requested files sent off to agent and editor.
The rest of my life may be storm-toss'd right now, but in this one moment I think I've got a handle on the career thing (cat removed again from the warm printer).
Wish me luck, I'm going in!
ETA: huh. and have already found a motif I used in a recent short story in this book as well, but with a more positive outcome. Writers: the original recyclers...
ETA2: Interesting. I have very few rituals with regard to writing. But editorial read-throughs? A deskload. I suspect that has to do with the old day-job thing, in terms of setting the editing-time apart from meetings or other daily detrius, whereas the writing I had to slip into any available time-pocket, and so became flexible. But that's just a theory.
ETA3: I love steel drums. I especially love steel drums when played by Spiro Gyra. I'm sure your life is complete, now that you know this. And I just wrote a scene in which P.B. does something so stupid, just about every apartment-dweller will recognize themselves in it...
