Sunny today. Windy. A high of 61F.

I hardly slept, and I was ill, but I worked. I did the last bit of tweaking on The Ultraviolet Alphabet, did the layout on Sirenia Digest 222 (magic number), and Gordon D. did a quick turnaround for us, so Spooky was able to send the PDF out early in the afternoon. Subscribers ought to have it. And I got in an ( Read more... )

The sun came back today. Our high was 68F fairly early, then started dropping.

I spent the morning proofreading and editing The Ultraviolet Alphabet. Then a chunk of the afternoon at the microscope, working on the Bashi. I ought to be working on MP2, but honestly, the Bashi work is sorta zen, not morphology and number crunching, just sorting itty- ( Read more... )

Very, very rainy today as a cold front passes through. Our high was 69F.

I was awake at 5:30, up at 6 p.m., and I got through to THE END of The Ultraviolet Alphabet, which I'll edit tomorrow. I hope to get Sirenia Digest 222 out on Thursday, and SD 223 should be coming very soon afterwards (with something rather special ( Read more... )

Sunny today. The high was 73.9F. But the warm weather is about to come crashing down.

Three nights with hardly any sleep. And this morning, after writing so much yesterday, I managed only 326 measly fucking words. I only have X, Y, and Z left.

I signed some books we sold in the Dreaming Squid Sundries shop, the three Bright Dead Star ARCs ( Read more... )

Sunny today. A high of 72F.

And it was a very productive morning, though I've hardly slept for two nights now. I did 1,697 words on The Ultraviolet Alphabet. If I am very lucky, I might finish it tomorrow.

I miss when we were less innocent, because we seemed so much more innocent then.

Please visit the Dreaming Squid Sundries shop. Thanks ( Read more... )

Sunny today. The high was 66.9F.

Despite being not well this morning, I was up at 5:30 a.m., and I wrote 1,203 words on The Ultraviolet Alphabet. Three more letters down. Part Two is almost done. Booya. I was also able to put in about an hour on the Bashi Marl ( Read more... )

The sun came back today. Our high was 71F.

No writing.

If you've heard me say that Sirenia Digest turns twenty this year, well...it doesn't. Apparently, I'm the scientist who can't count to twenty. The digest will have that distinction next year, 2025, by which time I will possibly be caught up ( Read more... )

A grey day heading into a rainy night. Wind. Our high was 68F.

This will be very short. I'm not feeling well.

Despite the morning pain, which is getting bad again, I managed a couple of letters on The Ultraviolet Alphabet. I want it finished by Sunday afternoon ( Read more... )

Sunny today. Our high was 79F.

I was up about 6:30 a.m. and back to work on The Ultraviolet Alphabet and managed letters O through P. Looming end of American democracy or not. I spent more time trying to solve the plot problems with The Night Watchers. More time on the Bashi Marl.

The afternoon's film was James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy 2 ( ( Read more... )

A slightly better day. The sun came out late in the morning and the temperature actually went all the way to 80F. However, there's a cold front on it's way, likely our first real taste of autumn, and it will be much cooler.

Kathryn and I spent quite a long time today discussing the novel, The Night Watchers. There are still a couple of very large ( Read more... )
