olmueThis is another one of those days where yeah, there are words, but they're scattered over several chapters, filling them out and making things smoother. I've still got to revise what I've got (and I'm still not done with the draft) but bits of how to do that are coming together in my mind. I know what I want to do, but I'm still figuring out the how of it. But I did enough that I felt satisfied for the day and went off to work on a knitting project I'm doing. That was nice, because my fourth grader came home with knitting homework. Really. They learn to knit in school here. He's making um, worms and flowers. Well, they're supposed to be flowers, but sometimes they uh, don't go exactly right. They sure do a lot of interesting things in school here. His last project for crafts class was to make a wooden car/paper and pencil holder. As in, draw, saw, nail, sand, plane, and paint it. That was my Christmas present. Cool, huh?
Anyway, now that I'm a few centimeters further in my knitting and a few chapters past where I was this morning, I'm suddenly being hit by another wave of impatience. I want to read books! But...not just any books. I want it to be March so I can readelizabethcbunce 's book. I want to read the rest of rj_anderson 's Touching Indigo, only alas, she has two more books to take care of before she can finish that one. I want to pick up the hardcover copy of fabulousfrock 's Alfred and Olivia book, and the same with robinellen 's books. So why can't the publishing industry move a little faster, please, because I am antsy!! (Really, the half-finished books are the worst because my mind keeps going back and trying to fill in the unfinished ending...)
Oh, and I guess I had a small bit of impatience satisfaction on my own end today...I was browsing the SCBWI site and saw that the latest Bulletin is up. And my article is in it! I've appeared in print without being paid, and I've been paid without actually appearing in print, but this is the first time that both of those events coincide. I feel like Mike Wisowski from Monsters, Inc.: I'm on the pages of a MAGAZINE!
