I am the maker of wings that you teach, teach me how to sew...

1. I've sent out a whole lot of stuff, mostly poems, to a whole lot of places. 

2.  I am done with the new first section of King of Pine, made infinitely better by some well timed and sage advice from aliseadae  and (though she knows it not) a different direction supplied by erzebet  .  I know where that story is going, I just need to let it sit while the brain follows the trajectory.

3. Push-ups continue.  I am considering adding squats (I seem to remember enjoying those back in the day, and what I've been reading is that those, push-ups and cardio is a respectable exercise routine that hits all the things I want to hit).  Today I did not run, but I walked a combined 5 or so miles, trying to get my legs used to standing and exercising.  I am finding that it hurts more to slack off on push-ups than do them.

4.  I just recovered the conceptual spider story, and have a much better grasp of the protagonist, so I am going to mess around with that a little, if I can.

5. Monday game went well.  My players all opted to be of the Birch Province and be pitted against Maple, so I have to develop those two out, and thanks to yendi  , I now have a notion to crib from Twitch of the Death Nerve for the first arc beyond the introductory.  

6.  Occular migraine with pain.  I think I'm going to go abuse my liver and kidneys with analgesics before this gets too far ahead of me.
