A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky

Today has been impressively productive, if I do say so myself. I finished the Ganymede pass proofs at long last, and sent my changes back to Liz the Mighty; renewed my drivers license; did my daily run/climb; went to the postal place to ship some sig sheets along the chain; chatted at the day-job people about what comes next; brushed the (highly reluctant) cat; and helped my mom sort out plans for her visit tomorrow.

That's right, my mom is coming to visit. She arrives tomorrow afternoon, and will go home Sunday morning – and woo boy howdy, are we going to cram in a lot of shopping and sight-seeing.

There will be tweets over on the twitters, but there probably won't be much blogging. I have an out-of-towner to entertain! Yay! I do so love playing tour guide.*

Anyway! I didn't do any writing on Inexplicables today, though I plan to sit and noodle with a plot tangle this afternoon/evening. I think I need a little break from fifth gear in order to step back and decide which way to take a couple of points. Don't worry, I'm not stuck or anything. I'm just indulging a temporary slow-down to make sure I get it right the first time, insofar as possible.

In other news, before I log off to buckle down with my notebooks and pens and brainstormings … you can check out a rather hilariously comprehensive interview with yours truly and the rest of the Wild Cards consortium members who worked on Fort Freak right here at SF Revu. Go on. Check it out.**

We gossip and natter, and I might hypothetically admit (and describe) how I badgered George over time until eventually he caved and let me do the interstitial.

So that's all the news that's fit to blog right now. Slim pickings, I know. But maybe I'll come back on Monday with some funny stories or pictures of me and my mother. The odds are decidedly in favor of it …

* Seriously. It's one of my favorite things ever.
