Working every night, and not faffing around online. Being in the right mindset is good, and consistent productivity is a good feeling.
Have polished up and sent out a formidable phalanx of short story submissions…struck at the trunk stories with a vengeance, in some instances completely rewriting them. Only one left to do, the remainder of the trunk is actually godawful and beyond salvage.
An important email went missing, and lo, I did weep, gnash my teeth, and turn on my “read receipts” option in Outlook. Yet 5000 lolcat pictures went through that day, no worries. DAMN YOU MURPHY’S LAW.
Drawing together names and background detail for an upcoming project, looking in the strangest of places. Scanning through a Thomas the Tank Engine toy catalogue, I find a character by the name of Rheneas. “OMG” quoth the Fisch, “I must use that name, for it is the shizzle”. Turns out it exists nowhere but the Island of Sodor, and as such is guarded by the fell beasts of Copyright. Fie on you, Reverend W. Audrey, you name-hogging train nerd.
Damn, I could totally dig another Rheneas.
Sadly, I’m wimping out on this front…tis an awesome name though!
