Very, very tired today.
I haven’t slept badly this week, just a little bit short every night. Apparently it’s adding up. Today my brain feels like sludge. It didn’t help that my efforts to nap this morning were thwarted by one pet or another. Still, the week as a whole went well.
I published an article for The Local Reporter on a proposed Chapel Hill development.
I finished the section of Savage Adventures I wanted done for this month, including double-checking details I wasn’t clear about in The Pharaoh’s Ghost.
I got a little bit further on Let No Man Put Asunder. It’s going slow now that Paul and Mandy are no longer running and have to fight back against the Community of All. This requires more than just flinging threats at them; as Doc Savage author Lester Dent put it, the action has to do more than merely move them across the setting. I’ll get there but it’s frustratingly slow.
On the plus side, I think I had a breakthrough on Oh the Places You’ll Go. I’ve been stymied because my redrafts have raised questions I had to leave hanging. This week I saw I can resolve them relatively easily and by shifting around who does what at the finish everything went smoother. I finally feel like I’ve got my finished draft.
I did not get much exercising or stretching done, alas. Cleaners and contractors to deal with on top of the usual pet distractions. Yesterday after the cleaners came, Wisp was sufficiently unnerved she insisted on spending all afternoon in my lap. I didn’t have the heart to get up and leave her.
I do appear in a Con-Tinual panel about Magnus, Robot Fighter (whom I’ve reviewed here). Over at Atomic Junk Shop I review the first issues of the current Wonder Woman and Power Girl series, plus a look back at Golden Age Black Canary. Did you know she has the magic power to summon flocks of black canaries to do her bidding?
