Faced with the impending close date of the alternate history spy anthology I submitted "Something There Is" to (they extended it) and having heard that the magazine where "Valkyrie One" has been since October 3 is sending out notices (though according to Duotrope, I'm at the point in my submission where I should poke them), I started browsing for the next places to send them and managed to use all the time I'd allocated for writing today. I've got the next ones picked out, at least.
Not *quite* all; I usually write until 4:30 or so, but I'm not exactly sure what happens next. I've seen discussions of pre-writing, so you know what the scene looks like when you sit down to it, but I don't really have a way to do that. I could go for a walk through the neighborhood, which tends to help me jostle things up, and it's been ridiculously nice lately, so maybe I will, I don't know. Tomorrow I have Pilates class in the morning, and that throws off my whole day. Wednesday's clear during the day, then Thursday morning, I'm driving Ben to the airport. Sometimes when Ben's gone, I'm mad productive. Other times, I'm ... not. (Being an ESTJ with mostly I??? friends is frustrating. Often.) I'm not sure which way it'll go this time. Might depend on what my thyroid's up to.
Anyway. I'm also still re-reading the Foreigner series. I'm up to book 4. I was poking around Amazon, and I learned that book 12 will be out in paperback just in time for my birthday, so happy birthday to me. (I have the first trilogies in paperback, so even if they're out in hardback now, a) that costs more and b) it doesn't match the rest. And I hate having the books in a series not match and not fit on the same shelf. I'm annoyed at Miles Errant for that reason, actually.)
I also got the Hunger Games trilogy for my kobo (on sale, $13 for all 3), and I need to read that before the movie comes out (in March). That's the second thing I bought for it. The first was the Leviathan trilogy by Scott Westerfeld, which was really awesome. I need to review it on my actual blog.
And I need to list those hundred or so books that I want to sell...
