I have young roosters instead of cocks this time, so my quote book mentions will be reduced.

I do still have cocks in freezer camp though...

Crit partner one liked the PNR (YAY!) but also said "not as compelling as your YA." I lurve my YA, too, but I'm trying to decide if this is because YA is first person, PNR is third. Or perhaps it's a novella vs. novel thing? I will wait until CP No. 2 sends her feedback tonight. Then contemplate.

Also, dental debacle continues. Eye doctor is sending me to a specialist this afternoon. But we don't actually know that anything is wrong, just that the whole thing is weird. Lovely. So ready to be done with this week. (And having to go places in public with a purple bruise on my cheek.)

Yes, wait for specifics - and decide whether you agree with them - first.

Yes, the whole thing is weird, and CRAZY CREEPY. There's nothing worse than drawn-out medical uncertainty. Except maybe drawn-out medical uncertainty with facial bruises.

Might just be a personal preference thing. Is the PNR a novella?

Nothing like a routine thing ruining your whole week.


I'm also curious about this new popsicle situation.

Yes, the PNR is a novella, just shy of 30K. I think it may just be that the heroine in the PNR is less cheeky than the YA heroine. And that CP loves the snark. (I do, too.)

I'll wait and see if they agree, then decide if I agree, too.

If you would like to know a little more there's a link to the reuters news service story. The Washington Times has the rather understated, and bleedin' obvious, 'residents are advised not to travel'. I think they're probably a bit too busy if they're already at home.

The New York daily news has a pic of a seal stuck in traffic (I'm not kidding - go google, you'll see)

UrbanAmazon is well-respected
There's some impressively worrying photos of some of the flood damage here, too.

Back to worrying myself bald, and intermittently chewing my fingers off. I mean, I'm used to sporadic and damaging weather where I live - like the grass fire paired with 120kph gusts of wind back in November - but this is not good for my nerves.

So I went and got my drivers license today. Took me 3.5 hours. I really thought I'd only be there for 2 tops. Now I'm home and my boys are mad at me for being gone so long.

If I have to leave my kids for that long I want to be doing something fun damnit!
