Popping in btwn revisions of a short.

Only 1,600 words, but it feels 'done' to me.

Dh thinks it needs more...more of WHAT, though, he can't say.

Hi reppers.

The men of the house tore up the bathroom cabinet today. Turns out I owe the dog an apology, because the far likelier source of my recent (since I got here) misery is the mould that's been growing under there since it got flooded back when Mr Neuro was in NZ and not around to make sure it got cleaned up properly.

Hopefully this means the end of my horrible, puffy, weeping allergyface is near.

Fingers crossed.

Might get some writing done today. Haven't decided. Need to get laundry done before I go to work tonight.

Am playing more with the short-to-novel idea thus far today, though. Supporting characters are taking shape nicely.

I'm not sure yet, LOL!

I *think* it's good. When I originally wrote it, there was a very strict, low word count for subbing. Now I'm looking at other places to sub, and the word count is vastly increased, so I have room to mess w/it.

I liked the original ok...but I'm liking the changes more.
