I’m taking an Alcatraz tour tomorrow (the one thing I wanted to do most last year when I was here for Baycon and got skunked by a bunch of Germans buying up all the tickets. I still haven’t fully forgiven my Teutonic fellow travelers for that), plus moving over to the Marriott ( Read more... )

So, out of the ten thousand eleventyone many items on my list for the day, I managed to at least shave some work off each and every one of them except the YA outline. I worked on the novella, I worked on the Big Seekrit, I weeded and edged the garden beds and the yard, and best ( Read more... )
