truepennyThat meme certainly lit a fire under my ass.
I finished a draft of "The Ghoul Hunters" last night, and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
matociquala has told me how to fix it (yay Bear!), so that's what I'm doing this afternoon.
This morning, I finished a draft of "The Clockwork Pianist." (And this time I remembered to put the climax in!) It gets a day to set, and tomorrow I'll do the editing pass.
Also this morning, I walked down to the post office and lobbed out three turnips, one of them being the beansidhe story I fixed yesterday.
The icon with this post is one of the lovely bat rays in the petting tanks at the Long Beach Aquarium of the Pacific. My other ray icon is of the same provenance.
That petting tank of rays is still the coolest thing EVER. The sharks were neat, but the rays were just awesome. Perhaps my reaction is a sign that I imprinted heavily on Up the Walls of the World. Or perhaps my love for UtWotW is part and parcel of my love for rays. I don't know.
They're very odd to touch, rays. Velvety and slick at the same time. Some of them seemed very much to enjoy being petted, coming and lolloping along the wall of the tank; others were careful to stay out of reach. But the staffer whom I asked said that they all seem to understand the strange bipeds don't intend to hurt them. And as interspecies communication goes, I think that's better than human beings have any right to hope for.
