Weekend Updatery

I spent the entire morning on April 1 skittering between some light revision work and constantly refreshing nine different tabs in a frenzied search for COVID vaccine appointment openings, and I'm glad to say that my persistence and stubbornness paid off as I found an opening this Thursday at a RiteAid across the GGB in Mill Valley! I knew I wouldn't get anything done in the interim, and I wasn't really expecting to find any openings right away (I'm now of age where I'm eligible for it), so I was rather surprised and pleased that it worked out. And the good thing is that they'll automatically schedule me for dose number two once the first one is taken care of. I'd said on Twitter later that day that it kind of felt like when big concert tickets went on sale: it was a matter of constantly checking and refreshing and hoping I didn't get disconnected or booted offline. Heh.

In more mundane news, I think I'm about a third of the way through this recent revision. I'd like to be further on but it is what it is. Some of the passages are just fine, but others need a bit more work. Last night I discovered that a super important scene that shifts the entire story felt kind of...flat, unfortunately. I know exactly why: I rushed it. I got too embroiled in the moment of the action that I didn't pay attention to the pace. I'll need to work on that one in the next day or so, but I think after that it should be smoother sailing. I don't think I had any other scenes that wonky...at least I hope not!


Hope everyone has a lovely week!
