Out the Window: thick gray clouds with occasional bursts of bright sunshine, and tree limbs whipping in a 20-35mph winds! Also, it’s not too hot, but oh-so-very humid. Earlier I checked and saw 89F/feels like 103F — a perfect day to stay indoors, IMHO.
On the Desktop: a tall glass of cool water
Today’s Work-in-Progess: I got proofs for an anthology I’ll be published in later this year. But today, I get to check my story to make sure all is correct, in both the story and the headers for it. It’s fun, and amazing to also get to see all the names and titles of the other stories I’ll be keeping company with. I’ve already taken a peek, and let me tell you, when 99 Fleeting Fantasies becomes available, you’re going to want to get it. So much amazing!
After this, it’s back to the Plot Mines. I’ve reached the climax of my “next novel”‘s plotting, and now need to figure out how my poor beleaguered protagonist can get through this, and what happens once she reaches the other side. Which is kind of important, because this will dictate how the early scenes need to be set up to make the ending resonate, and let the reader feel satisfied by the ending. Sooooo, yeah. No pressure 😀
And Another Thing: Yesterday I found fresh and ripe apricots at the store–a real surprise that I just couldn’t pass up. So this morning was spent making apricot jam. Out of 9 jars, 6 “took,” while 3 get to reside in the fridge until we eat them up–on ice cream, in yogurt, on toast, in a jam crostata, layering a cake, or some other delicious way. Let me tell you, life is sometimes too yummy!
