Deadline 1: Got the GREEN MAGIC proposal off to Robin a couple days ago, heard back from her yesterday with revision requests (very small—overall, she was excited about the proposal), made the revisions over a couple of hours yesterday and resent the complete package, and that will go off to the editor, possibly today.

Arrgh! Have passed halfway
I didn’t realize how very much I’d changed in the revision. A bad headache shot me down last night not long after I started type-in.

That can wreck a writing day.… Continue reading Goal Today

I’ve done some backgrounding, and did a huge… Continue reading Green Magic I
