Accomplishments
Mar. 9th, 2004 04:56 pmDespite there being Bad Stuff going on around me (see previous entries), I'm still having a remarkably accomplishing week so far.
Of course, it's only Tuesday. Maybe I shouldn't say anything?
But still. Almost 5,000 words more on Retrievers2 since Monday morning Update: Word count is now up to 6,000 -- that's new stuff I've written and kept, not the total words written), and l'editrix likes my cover ideas. *happiness* Of course, she's also pushing for a title, and I haven't quite gotten to that point yet, but... hrm. We're working on it. Researching for a plot-point that I need to get down as perfectly as possible, so the word count may suffer for the next day or so.
Got invited to submit to an anthology. It may conflict with the timing of another anthology I've already been asked to submit for (and, more to the point, an antho I already have a story idea for) but it's nice so very nice to be invited.
And on the domestic front, I came up with an excellent chicken curry salad recipe that I can use for the ID4 party this summer. It's yummy, it can be made ahead of time, and it's actually healthy as even the most demanding health freak could demand. And it doesn't trigger any known food allergies among the ID4 celebrants.
and I even got my cheer-and-a-giggle in for the week --
