Fast Five Things for an Overslept Thursday
1) I have discovered blackberry vines at the end of my street and on one street over. I've been living here something like 13 years and I never knew! I'm going to have free, fresh fruit for the rest of the summer. HAPPY!
2) I need to write about my weight-loss progress or, rather, my weight-maintenance progress. I really want to, but it'll take more time than I have this AM.
3) I've started to wear a pedometer. Rather than just counting my steps, I'm finding myself motivated to up the number of steps I take and to look for opportunities to walk. It's an interesting phenomenon.
4) The ENnie win for the Complete Kobold Guide to Game Design is awesome--but now I feel pressure to ensure that the next project I'm working on for Open Design is better and even more awesome. Is that how awards are supposed to work? (Of course, my writers have it worse; I'm cracking the whip a bit....)
5) As of today, I'm a month away from departure for my European trip and I'm very excited. At the same time, everyone else is getting ready to go to WorldCon and I have The Sad. And then I think: PARIS!
BONUS ITEM: 6) I've just had a story ("After This Life") accepted for Greek reprint publication--my second in that language, in the same magazine (Universe Pathways). YAY!
