Sunny today. Getting cold here. Our high was 48F.

A busy day, though not as busy as yesterday and the day before. Two new opening scenes for The Night Watchers, giving the book more context at the outset, those have come together. There was more conversation with the members of the MP2 working group. We've chosen the species name for the new taxon ( Read more... )

I need to try a little more brevity than I employed last night, because I've been up since 3:30 a.m., and I started working at 4 a.., and...so yeah, shorter, please ( Read more... )

This entry should make up for yesterday's. And the day before's. Los of thing happened today. Weather? Mostly sunny. Our high was only 57F.

So, I'll spend tomorrow getting the last items ready for Subterranean Press than are needed to put together the chapbook (that goes with Bright Dead Star), and then, the day after that, I actually go back to ( Read more... )

Chilly day. Cold night. Our high was 55F, and tonight we have a freeze warning.

This morning I put together Sirenia Digest 223, the special surprise issue, only a day after 222 went out. So...booya. I'm waiting to get the PDF from Gordon, and then Spooky will send it to all our subscribers. You're welcome. I think I did four hours work before ( Read more... )

Sunny today. Windy. A high of 61F.

I hardly slept, and I was ill, but I worked. I did the last bit of tweaking on The Ultraviolet Alphabet, did the layout on Sirenia Digest 222 (magic number), and Gordon D. did a quick turnaround for us, so Spooky was able to send the PDF out early in the afternoon. Subscribers ought to have it. And I got in an ( Read more... )

The sun came back today. Our high was 68F fairly early, then started dropping.

I spent the morning proofreading and editing The Ultraviolet Alphabet. Then a chunk of the afternoon at the microscope, working on the Bashi. I ought to be working on MP2, but honestly, the Bashi work is sorta zen, not morphology and number crunching, just sorting itty- ( Read more... )

Very, very rainy today as a cold front passes through. Our high was 69F.

I was awake at 5:30, up at 6 p.m., and I got through to THE END of The Ultraviolet Alphabet, which I'll edit tomorrow. I hope to get Sirenia Digest 222 out on Thursday, and SD 223 should be coming very soon afterwards (with something rather special ( Read more... )

Sunny today. The high was 66.9F.

Despite being not well this morning, I was up at 5:30 a.m., and I wrote 1,203 words on The Ultraviolet Alphabet. Three more letters down. Part Two is almost done. Booya. I was also able to put in about an hour on the Bashi Marl ( Read more... )

Sunny today. Our high was 79F.

I was up about 6:30 a.m. and back to work on The Ultraviolet Alphabet and managed letters O through P. Looming end of American democracy or not. I spent more time trying to solve the plot problems with The Night Watchers. More time on the Bashi Marl.

The afternoon's film was James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy 2 ( ( Read more... )

Mostly cloudy today. A high of 84.9. On November 7th.

But the Horror Clown chants "Drill, baby, drill" and is taking aim at subsidies for wind farms and just about anything else that might possibly slow climate change or smacks of environmental protection.

Today was at least more productive. I got back to work on The Ultraviolet Alphabet. Kathryn ( Read more... )
