pameladeanI had a migraine all day Monday, and missed going out to Afton to see the Leonids. Unfortunately, this made ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
carbonel and arkuat miss them too, since the rearrangements necessitated by my absence caused them to lose their enthusiasm. I did go outside around 1:30 in the morning, when the migraine had lifted, and saw one long streaky meteor, at least.
I have finished Chapter 3 of Abiding Reflection. This is Ruth's first ordinary chapter and was almost entirely existing text, although it had to be smoothed out and altered a bit. I also had to go add bits to the prologue, since the text of the new Chapter 3 referred to information that's been cut, and assumed knowledge the reader no longer could be relied on to have. The prologue is going to need repeated tweaking. I said this to Eric this evening on the phone, and he sensibly suggested that I wait to tweak it until I'm done with the book and know what else I left out.
The next chapter is Arry's, and will be about half new, I think.
I really enjoyed the responses to my last post where I wished people well with their work and some of you told me what you were working on. You can do that again, or different ones of you can do that, if you like.

Tangent: Looking up "Tam Lin" on http://whitepages.com shows there are some in the US. Same with "Thomas Rhymer." And with the surname "Lambkin."

Date: 2009-11-18 07:05 am (UTC)Right now I should be working on two articles due Friday. I am mostly working on taking care of myself, which is unfortunately incompatible with keeping my usual late working hours. I have sucked it up and asked the assigning editor for an extension to Monday. Today I gave one of my freelancers a couple of very generous deadline extensions so she can deal with her own health problems; I'm hoping karma is kind to me (and also hoping this assigning editor was as clever as I try to be about giving "deadlines" at least a week or two in advance of when the piece is actually due).

We don't see meteors in Southern California, unless we trek out to the desert.

To be fair, she has made some really good changes too...)

Oh, and I seem to be going to SF for T-day. Need to buy tickets, but...oh, really happy. I'm going to try to hang out in the States till Saturday, do a little shopping, that kind of thing. I'm actually sort of pathetically excited about it.
