Almost done

From the Horoscope wars:
You might find that there is an element of fantasy about the day that is causing you to lose track of time and space. Don't bother connecting to reality if you don't have to.

Oh, right....and how is this different from any other day?

I reached 95% of the way through the WIP rewrite last night. I think I'll be finishing today, and will follow up with some cosmetic tweaking for a couple of days after that, then off it goes to the first reader.

Then I'll return to working on short stories and novellas. Yay!!

In which my mother is always right...

My mother told me she really liked Early Winter, Near Jenli Village (at least I remember it that way), and her tastes were validated today by Lois Tilton over at IROSF, who gave the story a RECOMMENDED review!

A sad and quiet tale about wounds that even kindness and love are not enough to heal.

I am full of squee!!! And thanks to [livejournal.com profile] marshall_payne for the heads up!

On another note, I went to the brick-and-morter book store today and was frustrated that I couldn't find what I was looking for (hardbacks of the last two books by Jim Butcher, and the first two books by [livejournal.com profile] rclementmoore). That is less worthy of squee. I gave in and ordered on-line.
