Rinse and Repeat

[cornerofmadness]

This time the blood sugar stayed over 400 most of the day and crashed out just before water aerobics. That went much the same except I think I hurt my shoulder this time (she has two exercises I've never done in any water aerobics and it's easy to do them wrong)

Today was my writing zoom meet up. went well. I've pretty much pushed the new novel almost to the 10K mark (I'm like 230 words short). So I'm 1/8 of the way there in just a couple weeks. Yay.

I also owe seta_suzume an apology. There was a name change in Easy's sister's name but when I ran the find a word thing it didn't pick up on it. Side eyes word.

Adorei suas escolhas musicais, todas são canções que eu gosto e ou cresci ouvindo, ou aprendi a gostar com o passar do tempo.

Triste em saber sobre as oscilações diabéticas. Melhoras estimadas ok.

Feliz em saber que está fazendo a hidro. E que escreveu bastante.

[cornerofmadness]

thanks all around. Yeah these were songs from when I was young too

[ashelterofpages]

Oh, I've always wanted to try water aerobics but never had the chance.

Yay words! Very excited for you to be making novel progress!

[cornerofmadness]

I have done them off and on for the last 30 years. I love water aerobics

I'm super excited for the new novel

[ashelterofpages]

Are you willing to talk about it a little bit? I'm now very curious to hear what all you're making.

[cornerofmadness]

The book? sure. It's a genre mash up dieselpunk/fantasy/mystery. I'm about 10K in. If you're curious you can find the roughest of drafts of chapter one right here. I've already made a change to the serial killer's moniker. It's the Quartz Heart Killer because no one knows yet that it IS a cannibal.

Also you can see the character sheet for Ezio (who is refusing to be a secondary character) right here.

[ashelterofpages]

Heeee, I loved that sample! I'm very here for it and was kind of sad it was so short! Also, I'm not even remotely surprised Ezie isn't wanting to be in the background. I hope you keep sharing stuff about it now, cause I'm already very invested.

[cornerofmadness]

thanks so very much. I'm glad you liked it. I will probably share more as I go

[ashelterofpages]

Yesssss, excellent! I'm very here for more of it.

[cornerofmadness]

thanks. Glad you're enjoying this. Not sure how much more I'll post live (publishers don't care for that) but maybe at least one more

[suzume]

It's fine. No need to apologize!

Deacon Blues - Steely Dan
In the pre-Internet days (when I was young/elementary school age), I thought this song was called "Deeply Moved" XD;

The Henney Buggy Band - Sufjan Stevens

Here I Dreamt I Was An Architect* - The Decemberists

Goodbye Lovers and Friends - Franz Ferdinand

It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)* - R.E.M.

Lady Grinning Soul - David Bowie

[cornerofmadness]

nice collection.

I could see how you'd mistake that Steely Dan song

I'm pretty sure I've heard that The Decemberists song before (I like it) but I think my favorite of this bunch (besides the REM song which is one of my faves too) is Goodbye Lovers and Friends

[suzume]

Ha ha, I'm glad you understand!

You seem to like a lot of my Franz Ferdinand music! <3

[cornerofmadness]

I do. I should probably listen to him more

[suzume]

They're a whole little band! A quartet from Scotland! (although pretty much only Alex Kapranos who does that singing) (or, I guess now a quintet with Audrey Tait added!)

[cornerofmadness]

thanks. that helped. I was wondering why that name.

[suzume]

It's a kind of amusing name. (also, you find yourself having to say, "The band, not the archduke," to people who aren't clear on it)

[cornerofmadness]

Hah good point about the name
