Which is to say I made progress this week. Journey of a thousand miles, slow and steady wins the race, blah, blah, blah. I still want things finished. I know I’m getting there, but even so.
Little stuff got finished, natch. An article for The Local Reporter on the outcome of this week’s council meeting. At Atomic Junkshop I blogged about Supergirl taking over Adventure Comics while the Legion of Superheroes took her backup in Action Comics. Trust me, a bigger shakeup at the time than it looks today.
I also blogged about the second battle between the X-men and the Sentinels and why, even though it’s a good story, I think it’s lost some of its punch over time. Also, a look at Silver Age cover art.
And I accomplished various tasks: booking rooms for next year’s cons, ordering dog and cat meds, minor but necessary stuff.
On the big stuff, I got some movie viewing in for Jekyll and Hyde, plus writing up my impressions of everything I watched — I’ve learned to do that ASAP or everything blurs in my memory. I read part of the chapter on silent film versions to the writing group and got a solid thumbs up. That’s encouraging.
On Southern Discomfort, the end is in sight. If all goes well I’ll be done by the end of the month, then it’s just a matter of waiting until my cover artist delivers. As I mentioned, my friend and fellow author Maggie gave it a final beta read and she’s been invaluable spotting a few logic gaps, character inconsistencies and such.
And outside the weather has started to turn chilly at last. Feels good, and Plushie’s so much more enthused about his walkies. That’s good to see. Below, a shot taken during early morning walkies — now, of course, it’s completely dark most times we go out.
