Not running out of stuff to do any time soon.

[truepenny]

I did, in fact, finish with the CEM of A Companion to Wolves last night. So this afternoon I get to venture forth into the TWO DEGREE (Farenheit) world to mail it off to matociquala.

And then I suppose I can go back to The Mirador CEM. Although on a more reasonable schedule.

And I have page proofs for "Somewhere Beneath Those Waves Was Her Home."

---

With all this proofing, I feel a need to reaffirm the fact that I'm still, you know, writing things. So, herewith, a first-line meme. Just to make myself feel better.

And they were waiting, sick and helpless, for number five.

10. "Under Babylon"

Mick Sharpton's howl of outrage--"oh fuck no!"--was clearly audible in the junior agents' office. "Mickey-boy's just seen next week's duty roster," Livermore said smugly. "I told Adams he was going to screech like a scalded cat."
