Random thoughts here…
Forgot my LG Bluetooth headset.
Forgot my change of shorts for after work.
The train has broken down, late to work.
Got some editing done on Gil. Just not enough 🙁
I was off from work on Friday and some stuff went down. Going to see what damage might have been done.
People are weird.
I got a one-page synopsis of Black Betty White done and a one-page synopsis for Titan’s Run done. As soon as I started editing/reviewing a friends piece of work the mechanic calls to tell me the car is done.
Well, it’s off to go pick up the car and head home to pack.
At least we have brakes that work and I don’t have to worry about them failing on the wife and kids.
+1 on what really counts?
& only a +1 on me getting my stuff done? It would have been nice to get a +2 instead but such is life.
I managed to sneak out of the house on a Saturday morning! I am going to do some writing 🙂
Maybe I should mention that I’m sitting in a local McDonalds while my wife’s car is sitting in the racks at a local repair shop a couple of doors over? … Eh? Na, a win is a win. 🙂
Now to do some plotting on the two new story ideas I’ve in the past week.
“Black Betty” and “Titan’s Fall”*
I’m like 90% sure Black Betty is going to be the name of the one. The other, not so much. It’s a place-holder for now.
Okay, enough jibber-jabber… to the plot-mobile!
Howdy to anyone unfortunate enough to find themselves here and reading this.
Today, Friday, April 29th of 2016, is a honey-doo-day. I have got a few odds and ends done around the house but the most important thing I’ve done today, at least to me, is submit my two entries into the “Journey Into…” contest.
*Time out…
what is it with cats jumping on laps when you are trying to type? I’ve kicked off “Bob” at least half a dozen times cause he keeps ‘spreading’ outward and onto my fingers/keyboard. I’ve kicked “Bruiser” off far less but not for want. Bruiser has cancer and only has a few days/weeks/months left with us. It’s too far advanced as so we are just making his last days as comfortable as possible. He is getting spoiled to no end. The only way I kick him off my lap is if my bladder can’t handle containment any longer.
Okay, got that off my chest. Time in…*
I’m guessing I need to start working on my stories again but I’m also seriously tempted to submit something to the http://www.severedpress.com/submissions/ that just opened up a few days ago.
So little time for the joys of life…
Oh, who am I kidding? I know I’m going to submit something. The only wonder is what/which and how good of a condition it’s going to be in upon doing so.

So… what’s different about today?
Ha… (long pause)… ha
The trouble with writing a story back in November and getting back to editing it in April is that can forget some of what you already covered in the 1st draft when doing your 2nd draft. I discovered that I now have some duplicate scenes. This means I’m going to have to pause and cherrypick between the two versions and come up with a merged third version.
Other issue.
My laptop didn’t shut down when leaving work yesterday and instead went into a hybernation mode. Translation… no juice. Did I mention I woke up early today to head to a writers group where I could spend the time cherrypicking between two different versions?
I love getting up early and losing sleep for absolutely no benifit.

Yeah, I’m surfing the internets at work and my squirrel asked the question “How come we can’t see the Andromeda galaxy in our night sky?”
Well, it turns out my mind wasn’t the only squirrel asking that question.
I found this online and had to share it.
If Andromeda was bright enough for us to see it, it would be around this size.
