I woke up early and went out onto the balcony to see whether or not it was cloudy. As you can see, there certainly were clouds, just not in front of the planets. It’s really hard to fetch a camera bag and a tripod when you need a walker. It’s even harder to set up the tripod when you have to sit down to do it, and hardest of all…
Another week with not much progress on “Pinch Me”, but for nice reasons. I sent off another query to another agency about “Murder by Starlight”, so that’s 10 queries out there, and I feel I can afford to hold off sending more until I get a reply or two. I haven’t heard back about the big translating job, but I got a different one. I’m translating the Transvulcania website. (Transvulcania…
I’ve begun sorting out the balcony for summer. It’s a great spot to sit, or at least it will be again with a bit of work.

The next agents I want to query ask for a writer’s CV, so I’ve been busy finding out what the heck you put in that. Again. my lack of writing progress is partly because I’ve had a social life. On Monday…
It’s not been a productive week. I kept having a social life instead, visiting mutiple friends I’ve been neglecting. I finally installed a paid version of Scrivener on both the home and office computers, which is a nice thing to have finally done. During the next week I want to import all my notes for the next novel and write some character notes.
