Oof. The weather today has been something, squiders. We almost never get tornado warnings here–the mountains tend to disrupt the weather systems that make them. In fact, I can’t actually remember having to shelter in place for one ever, though we did do tornado drills as a kid.
(I had to bring the dog into the basement, and she’s never been down there before. She was not a fan.)
Anyway, nothing got done during the tornado warning because the basement isn’t the best place to work, I was anxious about family members and where they were (the small, mobile ones weren’t released from school until an hour after they were supposed to be because of the tornado warning), and because I just couldn’t focus.
Anyway.
So, what’s up?
My 1000 words a day goal on Book 1 is being very spotty. Oh well. On we blindly stumble.
What else is happening?
Let’s see, I told you guys about the big deal review for Hidden Worlds already.
I sold a short story this week, so that’s also exciting for me! It’s a British publication which doesn’t really mean anything except I don’t think I’ve sold to one before.
Due to the larger, mobile one’s battery incident on Friday I’ve learned there’s a national battery ingestion hotline.
Eurovision is happening this week, and I love Eurovision, so I’m super excited. Not sure who I’m hoping to win.
My mother moved closer yesterday, so hopefully I’m going to get to see her more.
Otherwise, May is just being May, and no one is really surprised.
Sorry for the disjointed entry, squiders. I didn’t want you guys to think I’d forgotten you. See you probably Friday, with more coherency. Fingers crossed, anyway.
