Bits and Bobs

I know I said keep an eye out for a manic monday today, but we didn't get our act together this weekend, distracted by the beautiful weather and family.  sigh  Next week, hopefully.

It feels like the good weather is ours on sufferance, meaning as soon as it remembers it's supposed to be cold and rainy, it will turn that way.  In case anyone is interested, my local home improvement store has all their plants half off, (apart from mums and pansies.)  I restrained myself, but just.  Even so, there are a new bunch of ferns gracing the empty spots.  I can't stand buying ferns at full price, so this is likely all I'll ever have.  -laugh-

Work's going well with a somewhat cleaner desk top now that I've taken care of the next step of  A PERFECT BLOOD and shipped it back.  100% of my concentration today is going to be on the rewrite in front of me, and it needs it.  When I started this, I talked about big shifts of character and movement, that the changes I wanted would eventually merge and the original story line would take from there.  I'm at that point, and the dovetailing isn't going smoothy as I would have liked.  Oh, it will still fit, but it needs a lot of rewriting, and progress is slow.  Now I'm seeing that the last chapter is going to have to be completely rewritten-but that's still about a week or so away.  Even so, I've got ideas . . .  The threads have lain in my thoughts all weekend, and now it's time to pick them up.

Ready, set, go!
