So I have two finished novels, two query letters (one of which I'm still tinkering with) and am compiling a list of agents and publishers to send them out to.
Wrote my second Demand article; am expecting this one to be sent back, although I'm not sure what more I can add to it. It's one of those weird cerebral ones. Found a Bluetooth headset in the garage that no one's ever bothered using. I've been trying to figure it out...I think I can see why no one ever used it.
Came up with a fabulous pseudonym to use for writing.
Finished The Island by Tim Lebbon. So far, not thrilled with his Noreela stuff; out of the three books I've read of his, Echo City was the only really splendid one. Dug some books out of storage and the garage to tide me over into the new year.
In other news, the toilet in my parents' bathroom had a leaky seal, or something, which has been emptying into the wall between the kitchen, dining room, and living room for years upon years, and it finally started to show. Spent the afternoon with our elderly landlord and two plumbers as they pried open the drywall. The entire bottom floor smells like wet, rotten wood. The toilet is fixed, but apparently the landlord will have to rip out two walls to get the drywall dried and sanitized/replaced.
I freely admit I am thrilled not to be a homeowner.
Am working through my edits. Not sure I will meet my numbers goal for this month, but I won't fall too short. I'm going to come up with a budget for January and earnings goals that will hopefully include writing. Am also going to start subbing in earnest.
Caved and made another pot of coffee. Hooray for caffeine.
