Jul. 2nd, 2010 05:21 amThe weather here has been gorgeous the past few days. I didn't work on Tuesday or today, and I spent most of the day with my windows open, listening to good music loudly, and singing and dancing along. It was lovely.
I got a lot done on those days, too. More on Tuesday than today, but today I had the unexpected obstacle of having to go to Walmart for groceries, so that took out quite a chunk of my day. I did manage to finish the Alcestis review for Lambda Literary, which was due like two months ago. I read the book in two days; it was amazing. My review, though, is not so amazing. But I think Lambda has something of a lower expectation than I do, and so I think it'll be okay. I just hope the author of Alcestis doesn't read it and hate me because I do such a poor job of explaining how and why the novel is so amazing.
On Tuesday, I finished the third scene of the seventh chapter of Eternity, and I started the fourth scene tonight, though I only got three paragraphs into it. I'm hoping to finish Chapter 7 by the end of next week, but I dunno if that'll happen, since I've got to work five days (five days!) next week. It's only three scenes, including the one I started tonight, but knowing the way I write, that could take an eternity...
It's actually a little frightening. Once I finish Chapter 7, I'll only have three chapters left to write. Three chapters! And then I'll have to start revisions! (That's scary.) And even scarier, I won't have Eternity to write anymore. I can't imagine life without having Eternity always waiting to be written. I have the sequel, of course, and the prequel, and the Great War novels, and the various short stories, but... still. It's always been Eternity. It'll be weird.
I'm currently experiencing an itchy-skin attack, which is where the lower half of my face and usually at least one extremity becomes incredibly itchy and red, so I'm going to go wet a washcloth and drape it over my face, and then I'm going to try and go to bed. I work tomorrow from two to close, which sucks. I'm hoping I can finish 7.4 tomorrow; it's not a big scene, and I know what has to happen, so it should be easy... 'should' being the operative word.
Okay, my face is driving me crazy. Good night.
