Hot and Cold

1) I'm getting e-mails from friends in Aus. They're frying alive out there...overly-toasty summer for them. People here? Well, most everyone is cold, except the northerners and the Canadians, who are too iced over to touch their keyboards.

The coat of ice on our roof pops and booms. Later today when the sun comes out, we'll have the horrendous rumble of big sheets of ice sliding off the shingles. (Much louder than snow sliding off.) COLD

2) Yesterday I withdrew a story (at 501 days) and subbed it elsewhere. Got a recent rejection ready to go to ROF....drat!....so now I'm planning to send it out Sunday when another market opens. LUKEWARM

3) I really hate writing possessives like Llelas's. It just looks stupid to me. I prefer the less formal Llelas'. Just me. COLD

4) Spent some time last night, trying to figure out how to fix SD. Work up after midnight with the sudden answer about how to fix KD. Not what I was asking my brazin to fix, and not what I'm working on right now, but I'll take it. Silly sub-conscious. HOT

Prayers...

There's movement in the pile over at Big Magazine X. 3 stories offered for so far, but not one of mine yet. This makes me extremely nervous.

I have a story nearing 500 days there, plus one at about 200 (not even 'officially' in the pile yet.) ::sighs::

This is likely to be their last shot there before I bring them both home.
