Progress Was Had By All

From bitter experience, I know I do just about everything too soon. Too bad. My computer is relatively stable today and I got through all the chapters of Dark Elf and fixed stuff. So, I've sent that off to be read before it (maybe, unless it totally sucks) goes off to my agent. Next, I'm going to work on Shift because I think that's actually pretty close to done although mostly (oh no!) I have to fix the synopsis. So I'll do that because I am brave and courageous and because you can't sell a novel without one.

Today, I helped my son clean out his room. We practically needed a bulldozer. But many old toys were discarded and we culled out a large number of books he has grown out of which made room for the ones he hasn't. It was hard work but now it's done until the next time. I played with the puppy and worked on Dark Elf and wished someone had helped me shovel out my room.

Then, I went out and picked tulips and daffodils. The puppy came with me and barked at the sheep. One or two looked up, as if to say, "Huh?" and the rest were blissfully ignorant of the danger. The tulips are in my room, the yellow daffodils are on the piano outside my door and the white ones (probably there's some offical flower name for these) are in the kitchen.

Comments:
Enjoy your flowers and Happy First Day of spring to you Patti.
Here in Nebraska we are celbrating with snow (and lots of it) over a foot by the time we are done at noon tomorrow.

Congrats on finishing Dark Elf!!! I am sure it doesn't suck.

I feel for you on your son's room. There are days that I think it would be easier to use a bulldozer. If he's anything like my son he'll have all the organization tore apart by this time tomorrow. About your room...I am working on developing the Samantha nose wiggle (Bewitched) if I figure it out I will email you the directions. What's that? What do you mean it was more than the nose that accomplished all those task?? siiigggghhh ..I relate more with Lucille Ball most days ;-).
Enjoy your Monday.
Mel

Happy Spring! My favorite flowers are tulips. And you know the Dark Elf doesn't suck.

My son refuses to give anything up unless it's so exceedingly babyish it embarrasses him. Which isn't much of what he's got.
 
No problem, CF. But what are you doing up at 5am? That's kind of twisted. Oh, wait, I get up at 5:00 am, too. Never mind. I was surprised by all the things my son decided he didn't want anymore. I have loads of Junie B. Jones and Magic Tree House books to unload. Any takers?
 
Uh, yeah, if you want to send them out to Brooklyn--my son loves both of them!

That Junie B. Jones author has one of the best voices I've ever read.
