Hello folks! If you got bombarded with email notifications today for a whole bunch of journal entries from me, I apologize! I was moving some older entries from late August and early September over to JournalScape, and I thought the email notification was disabled. Sorry! I'll make sure it's turned off if I ever try that again.

Today has been a lovely day. Elizabeth was home (she has Tuesdays off from school) so she slept in while I zipped through the route, finishing before six a.m., narrowly avoiding the temptation that is Daylight Donuts, and then I got caught up on some email and miscellaneous goofing off. Then Angela and Parker came over for lunch, and Angela and Lizzie bagged papers for me while Parker and I pulled weeds outside (our yard's a wreck!).

Then I got some writing done, and finished my first critique for UnWrecked Fiction, and did some reading. My goal is to do at least an hour of reading at night. And I also plan on getting more sleep! So I ask you, if you feel the urge, to please not call the Jasper household after 8 p.m.! :)

In other news, as I'm getting ready for the local convention this weekend, I find myself trying to decide what to read. I thought of reading "Gunning for the Buddha," but I'm not sure about that story anymore. I used to really dig it, but now I think it's sort of a cluttered mess. I thought about "The Dissolutionist," but I'm not sure that will come off that well being read aloud. The thing is, my reading is at 10 p.m., so I want to read something darker, possibly horror. So I've been thinking about reading "Mud and Salt," even if that's an older story, and I prefer reading new stuff at the few readings I've done. Decisions, decisions. I'd really like to read something from the Wannoshay novel. Hmmm... I'd read the zombie story, but I've already read that and want to try something different. Any ideas?
