Trixie turned ten this week

Well, as best the vets can estimate with a stray taken to the shelter at eight months old. I don’t know what awful person dumped her on the street but I guess I owe them one because she’s my little angel.If she has any flaw it’s that she can be very stoic when she’s in pain and sometimes we miss it. Plushie’s a cry-baby when he’s hurt but that makes it easier to know there’s a problem.Work this week went well. At Atomic Junk Shop, I look back at the moment Roy Thomas began indulging his two obsessions, the Golden Age and continuity problems. I also take a look at the debut of DC’s Creeper.
At The Local Reporter I wrote about development in Carrboro and a black oral history project, From the Rock Wall.

My own stuff went well too. I got more work done on Southern Discomfort and proofed Savage Adventures through the 1935 material. I also sat down and did some thinking about Let No Man Put Asunder, both the backstory (what degree was Paul working for when things fell apart?) and some of the structure. I’m not sure if I’m ready to start writing yet, but I am pleased with the work I did.

I did some more work on my self-publishing plans, writing back-cover copy for Savage Adventures and Southern Discomfort. I also came into some money which will cover the cost of setting up a Behold the Book website. I’m trying to figure out the design now, using a WordPress theme (I don’t want to spend money on anything custom).

Those of us working on the Ceaseless Way collaborative anthology held a Zoom call last weekend. It was a big help: we have a deadline (September) and a list of what needs to be done. We’ve started work on the list.

I did not get the exercising done I wanted but I’m pleased overall.
