Yes, INTO THE FIRE is now with Agent, and will go to Editor on Monday morning.\u00a0\u00a0 All the square brackets have been dealt with, all the timing issues I found have been fixed, lots of little errors have been fixed,\u00a0 and the working file (with old filename…like the barn name for a show or race horse)\u00a0 has been copied into the submission file (same as book title, with header changed to match.)\u00a0\u00a0 I have the nagging feeling I always have that I forgot something, but maybe I’ll remember tomorrow after church and fix\/add it then, but if not Editor will certainly notice any lags (and I may, ten minutes after sending it off.)<\/p>\n
It’s a lovely spring day, in the 80s, sunny with puffy clouds and a good breeze.\u00a0 The moss roses I potted this week are starting to bloom in all those lovely moss rose shades.\u00a0 The Cecil Brunner rose in the north horse lot is covered with fragrant flowers (several of them now in the kitchen.)\u00a0\u00a0 We have a mass of the native Tradescantia (spiderwort) with its beautiful royal purple flowers in the back yard, both of the native true buckeyes are blooming\u00a0 (the Texas buckeye is past peak; the scarlet buckeye is at peak) and now the Mexican buckeye (not related) is starting to bloom.\u00a0\u00a0 R- is out cutting the backyard and orchard grass.\u00a0\u00a0 I have more laundry to do (I ALWAYS have more laundry to do.)\u00a0\u00a0 Shade is returning to the back yard as the oak leaves get big enough but all the leaves are still “spring green.”<\/p>\n
I have the rest of the day off writing,\u00a0 though not off all the other chores (SIGH.)\u00a0\u00a0 Laundry and shoveling\u00a0 a path from the door to the desk in here.\u00a0 Papers have done their best to make it a paper trail by sliding and falling off the piles that now need sorting (and throwing out.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
