Day 7 - 1502

Well, back to work after vacation meant a more realistic word count on the day. I also admit, I got sucked into reading an old HG/SS story (The Fire and the Rose). Really lovely. Ah well. Tonight I have a couple of meetings with Wee Hob's teachers, and I have to oversee his packing for what looks to be a very cold weekend with the Scouts. Hope he can go; he's complaining of a sore throat this morning.

I think I'm going to have to drop back and punt-- make some serious notes on how this original world is put together before I can do much more in it. Unless some other inspiration strikes me today....

Happy writing to all. Here's antennapedia's word widget:

Day 8=1774, and the academic triumphs of Wee Hob

Well, I got more scenes of my new idea written, still filling in the beginning more than trying to forge ahead, or anywhere else. Cool, though. And I have this to report. Remember a few weeks back, I reported Wee Hob was making a 9 in History? That would be, yes, a Nine, as in the number 91 less than 100. He got his grades today, and mirabile dictu, he has an 88! I am quite proud of the lad. And his lowest grade, a 72, while a D in this district's scale, is apparently more missing homework driven than ability. His teachers all pretty much adore him, even the one who has him for that lowest grade. We all agreed they have my permission to "kick his butt" when he needs it. And he seemed pleased to hear how much they like him and want him to do well. His new meds seem to be settling him a bit, too, thought it's too soon to say for sure.

And the obligatory word widget from the lovely antennapedia:

I'm set to have a virtual write in Saturday afternoon with clavally-- my plan is to be at the Panera in Crestview Hills, KY from 3-5, and available online for anyone who wants to chat and distract me. My aim id is currently on my profile page. Join the fun.

Good night to all, and hugs to all writers, nano or otherwise, on my f-list.
