Not too sure about the new schedule yet. It’s only a day old, but the rhythm doesn’t seem good. Only wrote for 45 minutes yesterday.

Okay, sure, I had to do some author business with my writer time, but I’m not wild about it yet.

This morning was also author business. You may remember that Kirkwood paid for my release time to write Hulk Hercules, so there were visits to the library and the faculty center, and books sent to the president’s office. I almost have all the in-house credits in order. Next up–I have to track down some wrestler’s addresses for thank you books. Then, we can start the critiques and school library things in earnest.

I bought some lovely gel pens for autographs too. I enjoy that. I also sent out the first of the Morty Moose game tokens, to Michael Jasper’s kids.

It has gone from being about 40 at night to about 70 at night. The humidity outside is like August. Unpleasant dog day August. I’d love a change before the weekend. I bought spring clothes, shopping gods! Not summer! Spring!

It does not make me happy that Iowa writer Sarah Prineas is suffering under the same heat wave. Rather, today is the release day of The Magic Thief: Found. Looking forward to that one!

All right, so my tai chi instructor is drawing the time to my attention, and then there’s some teaching and you know, work, so I’d better close this down. Stay cool. Drink a lot.
