Time to get back into the regular routine, after a fun weekend with my friend visiting.
We have a bunch of serial episodes today.
The regular Wednesday episode is from Angel Hunt:
Episode 53: Lianna’s Argument
Lianna takes the dragon into her confidence.
Today is also the launch of DEADLY DRAMATICS: Join Nina Bell in 1996 NYC for love, lust, theatre, rock ‘n roll, and murder.
The first TWO episodes drop today:
Episode 1: Give Me The Money
Nina’s boyfriend Jake tries to roll her for $10K.
Episode 2: From Hell’s Kitchen to the Upper West Side
Nina realizes breaking into Jake’s apartment is a bad idea, so she continues uptown with her delivery.
The first episodes are free; it would be a huge help if you’d hop over to them, read them, and, if you like them, give them a thumbs up!
Episodes will drop Wednesdays and Saturdays, and this coming Saturday, both Episodes 3 & 4 will go live.
If you’d like to see an introductory video about the serial, it’s the third one down on the Serial page.
On top of that, we have a Process Muse going live today, and it’s about editing in layers. You can read the post here.
In other words, there is plenty for you to read today, coming from me.
And I will have plenty of social media rounds to do. Along with everything else that has to get done.
Yesterday, I made Eggs Benedict for breakfast. We got on the road a little after 10. My mom decided to go with us, for the ride into Vermont and back.
There was a storm building, and I had my pre-storm headache, which made things harder than they needed to be, unfortunately.
But the trip up wasn’t bad, except for the construction on Rt. 7. At least the infrastructure money is being put to good use!
We drove up the big hill to visit the Battle Monument that overlooks the town – which was closed due to flooding in other parts of the state. Which kind of didn’t make sense, but, whatever.
We stopped in Manchester at Northshire Bookstore. Wow, what a great store. I bought a Vermont cookbook, a history of Southern Vermont Arts Center, and Michael Woods’s book on Shakespeare, which I didn’t technically need, but it’s Shakespeare, so I needed it.
Dropped my friend off and headed back. I had a hankering for Chinese food, then remembered it was Tuesday, so all those restaurants are closed, so that was that.
Home, took to the couch with my headache in the best Victorian heroine fashion. We didn’t have the release of a good thunderstorm, but when it started to rain, things eased up a bit. I still went to bed pretty early, and had weird, weird dreams.
The Vermont cookbook is spectacular, and inspires me to get my cooking mojo back, which has sadly lacked these past few weeks. I felt terribly guilty that I only cooked one dinner and two breakfasts for my friend’s visit. I might even get my act together to get to the Farmers’ Market this Saturday, unless it’s so hot and humid I’d pass out in line.
The cats rousted me up early, and Tessa and Charlotte had drama about who got fed first. Before I had my coffee. Which did not end well for any of us. I did not get my act together to go to the laundromat; will probably do that on Friday.
My reading slot is confirmed for Aug. 16 in Word X Word’s program built around book bans and gun violence, so that will be my focus for this weekend.
Today is about the serials (all the serials, Legerdemain needs some attention, too), the flash fiction that’s due on Aug. 1, digging through emails, trying to get things coordinated with the Rye Historical Society, and doing research for the client project, so I can actually DO the client project tomorrow and Friday.
Have a good one!
