Revisions
Revision time on book two, AKA Kings of the North, has begun...the editor's letter arrived today (OK, it was email, but it's still called a letter, out of Tradition. How fast can I get them done? Not sure yet. Reading the revision request with a headache and mild whiplash from yesterday's fall is not the best state of mind in which to estimate time. Usually I'm fast. Sometimes, not so.

12:22:49: $50 for spending two hours in focus group on regional transportation sounds good to me. Want people who'll talk they said. Heh-heh-heh.

10:05:52: Gray, gray, gray...a lid on the sky. Rained hard last night, all muddy. Supposed to rain more today. Urge to go back to bed.

Books' "Barn Names"
Books have a proper title, which is kind of like a show animal's registered name. "Highflight's Majestic Miscellany" won't be called that in real life ("Here, Highflight's Majestic Miscellany!") but will have something short, simple, easy to say. Depending on species and gender, this could be Missy, Moocow, Buster, Cuddles...anything but the long formal name on the registration papers.
Books can also have barn names. They may or may not partake of the words on the cover. In my own...

07:09:38: M-'s first big exam today. Fingers crossed for him.
07:11:40: Pale dawn--sky bleached of color--no rose or gold--frost on fence rails, interesting dream about making sculpture of sorts.

10:37:04: Note to self: Do not forget important legal duties, like filing an annual report with the court. (MemoryFAIL. Court ClerkRESCUE.)
10:39:26: Will I remember where I put everything I'm taking off the old printer, after installing the new printer?
10:40:20: Will I refrain from stacking things on and around printer in future? (Does water normally flow uphill? Time run backwards?)
10:41:58: First plum blossoms on wild thicketing plum taking over "orchard." Wind blowing hard. Birds...
