Dog Foot/Shimmer Galleys
Sep. 12th, 2007 03:49 pmI have been off-line for several days due to a dog injury which kept us downstairs. We don't know what Loki did to his foot, but it swelled up dramatically between the pads and he couldn't put any weight on it (so no coming upstairs to where the Internet lurks save for very brief intervals where I checked personal e-mail and answered only the essentials). Once the vet saw him and put him on antibiotics, the swelling decreased rapidly. Today we braved the stairs and the trusty beast is now snoring on the landing.
Trapped downstairs, I did some reading, watched some Stargate, worked on the laptop. I solved the horrible October story problem, so K and Y get to keep their baby and their niece/sister. (Strangely, an episode from SG Season 1 triggered the breakthrough, so I guess I owe it to the dog.) Anyway, that's the October story, but I almost have the rough draft done now.
Looked over the galleys for the Shimmer Pirate Story. I really need to learn to understand Track Changes better! I found 3 typos in the galleys that somehow I missed SEVERAL TIMES while going through the editing process using Track Changes. Grrr! It's irritating to keep finding things. Makes me feel stupid and incompetent.
TNOD was politely rejected by A&A. I haven't figured out the number of days yet, but it wasn't very many. I'll have to go over to the Black Hole...Duotrope....Speculations...and then figure out what was next on that story's list. I still believe in the story, so I'll keep sending it out.
If I missed congratulating you on a sale or hearing about your fascinating week-end, sorry!
