Bits and Bobs #2
Well, the big news this week is, of course, the rescue of the Chilean miners. It's fantastic that they're out, and how wonderful to see so many people from different countries working together to accomplish a goal. Imagine what we could do if we did that all the time, rather than fighting each other.
I've finished the first draft of the December Rymellan story. This was a tough one to write, not because I had writer's block or anything like that, but because preparing The Salbine Sisters for publication and dealing with the numerous details around that squeezed my writing time. Then, when I did have a chance to sit down and write, it was hard to turn off the "publisher." So I'm glad the first draft is done and I can move on to the editing stage. The story ran a little longer than I expected, but it contains a key turning point for one character. It's also the last story that will go into Rymellan 2.
Since it's Friday, I've included a silly animal video that had me laughing yesterday. It starts out with video clips of cats, many of which I've seen before. Then there's a funny Monday/Friday comparison (you might be able to relate to the Friday clip today!). But what really made me laugh was the skateboarding dog. It's the dog, it's the people wondering "WTF?" It's the dramatic background music that made me dig up one of my old ELO CDs and rip Fire on High to my computer so I could listen to it again (I hadn't heard that song in years). Just one of those clips that makes you giggle no matter how many times you see it. Truly a dog that lives life to the fullest.
Have a great weekend!
