Journal 06-12-2015

Good morning or whatever part of the day is for you. Today is Friday, June 12, 2015. The temperature is 64.6°F and the humidity is 86% at 4:54 a.m. PST (-8 GMT). Weather Underground shows sustained winds at 0 mph with gusts of 2.2 mph. It was overcast and dry where I stuck my head out. Weather Underground is predicting a 0% chance of precipitation and a high of 76° (“cooler than yesterday”) today.

The fairy tale went over pretty well at the critique group last night. A couple of further tweaks and I think I will submit it to the contest. The cookies went over pretty well, too.

Mr. Siduri got the scent of skunk along the side of the house yesterday morning hours after I did. Our guess (and it is only that) is that because the neighbors water their lawn in the pre-dawn hours, they may have gotten a furry visitor looking for water. Something must have startled him.

Going to work on painting the trim in the kitchen today. Mr. Siduri has everything taped off.

And I posted a review for Examiner on Tertullian’s “Apology.” Can’t say it’s exactly brought down the house with page views.

I have a correspondent I “met” through a beta-reading goodreads group, a high school girl that I’ve been exchanging emails with on and off for about a year and a half. She’s always got something on the burner. She actually contacted an agent last year for a book she wrote (and I beta read). She didn’t end up getting represented, but apparently got some good feedback. Good for her! I think she’s about 14 now. A lot more on the ball than when I was 14.

Off to write another day—

Thanks for reading. Hope you and yours are all well and happy. Hope the day brings you good things.

Writing schedule:

1. Spend an hour with Siegfried

2. Start another review for Examiner.

3. Put the finishing touches on “The Song of the Harp.”
