[Sunday] Cleaning, Writing, and Other Things

So today is my 'finish the errands' day. I just finished doing the laundry about a half hour ago, I've just Febrezed a few things, and once I've made the bed, I'm finally going to go through the stuff that my sister mailed me a month or so ago. (This is the last remaining box o' JoncStuff that was at the old homestead--after this is gone through, everything else of mine barring school-related stuff my Dad may want to keep will be here with me, leaving nothing else at the house.)

The writing is slow, but it's going. I got a few more words for the Angela Death project done last night and will probably do a bit more later today. I'm also going to make a conscious effort to start on the first chapter of Can't Find My Way Home. Given that I know the outline's okay for about three chapters before I need to tidy it up, I think getting a move-on with the writing part of it is a good idea. I also think I can wait on the Eden Cycle revision/preparation for the website, as I'm quite a few chapters in. I think preparing the website itself will be the main objective for the next week or so.

All this done while watching football! And man, there's been a boatload of it lately, between the College Bowls and the playoffs. My Patriots may be out of the running, but I can safely say I'm pleasantly surprised at who ended up getting this far!

Okay, back to work...

Cleaning done...for now

I could have worked longer on it, but then I wouldn't have been able to get any writing done tonight. And besides, narrowing it down to one smaller box and throwing away the older tattered box was good enough.

Looks like most of the stuff in this box is writing-related in some way, from multiple versions of WIPs, notes on same, a LOT of maps I drew at work out of complete boredom, and a goodly amount of Murph drawings, including the very first ones!! So I can safely say now that Murph dates back to late 1990--first semester, sophomore year in college, which sounds right to me. Now that I have both the scanner and Photoshop, I will have to scan some of these puppies in and post them. And yes, chang3002, that does include the infamous "War!" strip I did back then. I'll post it just for you when I have the time. ;)

This also reminds me--sometime soon I'm going to have to find a Staples nearby that has a parking lot (the closest one is downtown on California Street, but no parking unless I want to hover around the neighborhood for two hours). I really need to buy a new paper shredder, as ours is coming close to giving up the ghost, and I still have a Staples GC I can use. Our pile of 'to-be-shredded' stuff is starting to grow.

That's it for now...I needs to write!
