Good luck to both of you -- and congratulations for doing the writing, period. Whether you like what you've written or not, give yourselves credit for slogging through it. As I tell my students and workshop-mates, "The job of a first draft is to be sloppy."

And speaking of sloppy...
Yesterday I added 2700+ words to the sixth volume in my series, which I _think_ will be the last. I'm writing #5 and #6 concurrently, just because that's how they're coming to me. Had almost no sleep last night because I was in Vision Overdrive, and I spent half this morning scribbling notes. So my eyes are hanging halfway down my cheeks (at least they feel that way), but I'm much clearer on #6's trajectory.

I'll be breaking from the series to finish up a review I'm doing for _Star*Line_. I also spent part of today helping out, participating in, and taking photos of a Poetry Celebration at our local library (Happy National Poetry Month!). Soon as I finish reviewing the photos, they'll go to the editor of _Of Poets And Poetry_, the Florida State Poets Assn. newsletter. I also have to do up a short blurb because a photo collage of mine will be on the cover of the poetry journal _Harp-Strings_ (summer issue, I think).

After my nap. (And then after my transcription job, which helps support all this other stuff.)
