One of those days

Today was a day filled with petty irritants which I won't bore you with. My son is suddenly consuming mass quantities and I therefore suspect he's about to grow out of all his pants (vertically, that is). Rats. I didn't have time to grocery shop, so I took him out to get a burger, and he complained he was tired. Tonight was soccer awards and his team was getting one for being in 1st place in their league. He was falling asleep and well, anyway, I think he's going to wake up sick tomorrow. We left early and he went straight to bed. Uh-oh. Then I had to do stuff for work. I got some writing in, but only in snatches. I'll try to get a bit in tonight, only I'm pretty tired myself.

I managed to make an appointment to meet with a photog. I think a meeting first is good. He can see what he's got to work with, and I can convey to him that I don't want a boring pic but that I lack any visual creativity at all. Then sometime next week I will make my agent happy and get the darn photo taken.

Regarding Magellan's Witch, I've committed to my shift in what my hero is. It's working already. I'm closing in on finishing the synopsis for Scandal. Then I'll take a look at the 1st three chapters and send them off to my agent so she can see (we hope) that I actually can write historicals. This dratted story is cursed. Cursed I tell you. Last year was kind of a black hole for me in some ways and this MS suffered greatly because of it. I should post the new chapter one and beg people to comment on it. Hmm. What do you think?
