It’s absurdly warm for this point in the year, more like what I’d expect in early September for this area. Almost like the world is getting much warmer … However we survived Helene, experiencing nothing but heavy rain. Even so, the catastrophe to the west of Durham is a reminder there’s no safe place any more.
(Because of Plushie’s back problems we carry him up and down the stairs. He likes to run up if we forget to gate them off, then waits for us to carry him down).
The work week went well. I watched more movies for Jekyll and Hyde, bringing me almost to the 1950s. I wrote some new material, rewrote some of what I’d already gotten down. I had a story published in The Local Reporter about protecting migrating birds from light pollution. Over at Atomic Junk Shop I blogged about how the Marvel and DC apps affect my comics reading plus a couple of images that caught my attention. Here’s one of them.
For fiction, I was mostly about Southern Discomfort. My final final rewrite is now 2/3 complete; proofreading it is maybe 20 percent along (but I’m catching errors so it’s worthwhile). It’s really looking good if I do say so myself.
I also put in some unsatisfying work on formatting Ceaseless Way. Some of what needs fixing can’t be fixed; some will require input from the Draft 2 Digital help desk. I think I can work around the former (or we’ll learn to live with it); on the latter I’m still waiting. Happily, the last time I asked for help, they delivered.
That was pretty much it. As usual when things go well, these week-in-review posts are much duller. Hope y’all are okay with that — I certainly am.
