Words Written: [caramel]: 1000+
Exercise: none

I actually got everything on my list worked on today (‘though not all completed), which is impressive given that I spent part of the day finding all sorts of other little things to occupy my time with. (As tempting as it is, I really don’t need to update my story submissions and get a couple of returned stories in the mail this week. They can wait ‘til next week. Really. Honest.)

I did submit one story, work on another (that’s due tomorrow—some serious a.m. writing must happen!), write up one critique, and read the chapters Teresa sent. I got a little editing work done, which was aided by the laptop the company gave me. Much faster than making my poor Mac fight with a Windows interface. We had dinner with Morgana and Brian, and even had some time to watch a little TV together.

In other news, I broke down and volunteered to run Anniversary Tourney, because at the Shire meeting at the beginning of the month it was noted that nobody had offered to run it. Which is bad, considering it’s in May. I waffled a long time, but Ken finally said he’d secure the site (the part I hate the most), and Catherine, an enthusiastic newcomer, has offered to be my minion. In fact, I told her about the town in Cornwall called Minion, and tried my best to convince her she really wanted a French-Cornish persona called Catherine de Minion. She’s agreed that it can be her alternate persona—which means it’s her pirate persona and she’s been conscripted onto Wicked Red’s crew. insert maniacal laughter here.

Ooh, I’m really tired. Must fall over now (and hopefully sleep better than I did last night)…
