Month: April 2012

Saturday

I didn’t read a lot of Kaleidotrope submissions today, it’s true, but I read several, including every one that’s been queried about in the past couple of weeks. Now that just leaves several hundred more.

At least I got to read it while sitting on the back porch sipping iced tea. The weather was quite lovely today, warm and sunny, with just enough of a breeze. The way things have been going, it will probably be twenty or thirty degrees colder again by Monday, but it was nice while it lasted.

This thirteenth

It was a long and slow day, but I’m off this coming Monday (albeit for a pair of doctor’s appointments) and working from home on Tuesday. So that’s nice.

No real plans for the weekend beyond maybe my weekly writing group, a movie, some Kaleidotrope submissions. That kind of thing.
