So, I woke to the faint sound of the phone in the kitchen beeping in protest of the power going out. It was dark, but I could see due to the full moon, so I got up, got my cell phone for light and let the cats out. Then I tried to call in the outage, but I couldn't remember my friggin home phone number. Totally gone from my brain. People here at work are enjoying my telling of it - it's more of an audio/visual story.
Last night's class was actually interesting, engaging, and educational. Maybe I won't drop it after all. The instructor bases 25% of the grade on group work, so there I was talking to seven other people, none of whom have voted in an election yet, and they found it hilarious when I suddenly interjected, "You guys have such an awesome first election! Mine was Carter."
Yesterday's writing was a treat. Every time I get in the groove and type in a quick nine hundred to a thousand words I get such a THRILL. I'm going to try thrilling myself again today. *g*
Oh, and I sent Kate chapter seven at about five o'clock, right before running out the door. Very raw, and I just sort of ended it because I couldn't decide where I wanted it to stop so I just...stopped.
The whiny story of slogging through writing my first novel.

Good for you -- glad to hear you're still cruising along. I can't wait to see what happens next -- wow. Interesting to hear about the class as well. I'd be nervous about anything that relied on that much group effort, but hey. It would be easier now (i.e. I'm too smart now to do all the work myself).
Writing (when it works) is sublime. It is being divine ;-)
How about Divine Death for a title? *g*
Are you two in CT now, or going this weekent?
And, Happy Anniversary!
I still like Trouble and Ruin better than Divine Death. Maybe your publisher will come up with a killer title.
We went to CT over the weekend; pictures here! This weekend is World Fantasy in Saratoga!
Thanks for the anniversary wishes -- we have a long way to go to catch up with you two!
Very nice costume. Muy caliente! ;-)
Tee hee -- you so silly!
We didn't even get trick-or-treaters because we got back from dinner so late (mmmmm, dinner!).
