kaffy_rVarious Things, Lists, You Get the Idea
1. Ridiculously superficial thought wrt the death of Elizabeth and the ascension of Charles: I will miss her rainbow colored outfits and more than occasionally silly (but always paradoxically elegant) haberdashery. The new king, unless he truly has a Come to Alexander McQueen moment, will entertain us only with sober suits and the occasionally colorful pocket square. Do we look to the Queen Consort for rainbows?
2. I plan to go back to commenting on Worldcon, Hugo awards and all, tomorrow. No, really.
3. I'm getting back to writing after several days away. I'm also truly chuffed that BB has dipped into editing my original novella. He's always resisted doing much deep editing of my fic, beyond being a copy editor par exellence - he's done some, but I suspect he's felt that I'm the obsessive writer of fandom-related things, fandoms he likes but isn't obsessive about, and that that means he's ill equipped to do deep dives. With the original work, I think he's more willing. I think it will be a good thing.
4. I'm also returning to the final leg of the original novel. I'm not sure who to turn to for editing there, largely because I don't expect ever to send it out for anyone's actual consideration. Still, perhaps I may yettrick someone into ask someone to take a look at it. I just have to get the damned thing finished.
5. I'll be heading back into editing myself, with the young gentleman who's putting his Arcane fic together. Luckily, he's already enlisted some other editors, and has said that, while he'd like me to stay on the team, I don't have to be as in-depth as I'd been for his first chapter. That's a relief.
6. I picked up a couple of books at the con, after promising myself I wouldn't waste the money. And I've picked up Howard Zinn's history of the U.S. from the library. So when I'm not writing stuff or editing stuff, I can be reading. Go, me.
7. Trump's troubles continue to mount. I am grateful.
And that's my list, folks.
