Back in the Saddle Again

At least, it feels like it.  Sneaky is letting me rub her ears, sitting on my lap, and she's eating.  My weight has stabilized, and I think my body is adjusting to the new weight. I'm still cautious (the mid-afternoon trouble area has not gone away), but I feel good at the moment.  I'm going to keep concentrating on mindfulness, including looking for ways to begin moving to the next level. 

I did no work on Kitty City or the "How To Write A Series" course this week, but I made satisfying progress with Polar Bear on the Loose.

Lawns got mowed.  We got the grass clippings planted and watered in this morning.  I'll water again tomorrow and Monday morning before heading to San Antonio.  I take all the kitties this week, because Mr. L will be joining me, probably on Tuesday.  I'll come back Saturday, and he'll likely remain down there.  We have a social obligation on the 4th.

We've been planning Grand Tour 2015.  Today, I purchased the train tickets.  San Antonio to Chicago to Reno to Sacramento to LA to Chicago to New Orleans, and back to San Antonio.  Whew.  We're going to be ready to be home at the end of that one. Mr. L will take care of hotels, rental cars, and meals.  One of us will arrange for the studio tours in LA.

The Week Ahead:
  • All the kitties (except Sneaky) to San Antonio with me on Monday
  • Follow watering and yard work protocol
  • Yoga classes on Wed and Thur (Wed class as a minimum -- may reconsider Thur class)
  • Social obligation on Friday
  • Return to Central Texas on Saturday -- Mr. L likely to remain in SA.  I'll mow and water here, then return to SA for two weeks after that.
  • Finish Lesson 18 for How To Revise Your Novel and PBOTL; begin Lesson 19
  • Resume work on How To Write A Series.

Let me know when you're going to be in Chicago. I'll come meet you at Union Station for coffee if nothing else.

BTW, the manuscript got here. I haven't opened it yet because I don't have time to really go over it, and I'm overhauling the whole book anyway, but thanks for sending it, and thanks for the honest crit.

I sent you a note with dates and times for us to be in Chicago -- you have a couple to choose from since we're going through Chicago three times on this trip. (Chicago is nearly always in our route when we travel by train.)

It will likely do you more good than me, but the back of each sheet is good for scrap paper at the very least.

I think I forgot to mention that I absolutely love the time frame you've chosen for the story. I see so very little WWI fiction. I believe it's an under served time period, and you've demonstrated it has a lot to offer.

Wow. Your Grand Tour fills me with awe. Take lots of photos. Post constantly. Share your trip with us! That is the point of the Tour, right? To have something to share with us? :)

Exactly. I got your note and I'll put the dates on my calendar. We can talk more about it later.
