am trying to be energetic and productive and clean the house today. only just noticed that the rugs need vacuuming, the floors need sweeping, the rooms need dusting, all these things i never ever remember to do, and it detracts quite a bit from the charm of the little house if it's, well, grody.
Since we're having a party on Tuesday (a Political Party, actually) then we really ought to get the place looking decent.

So, that's my goal for today.

I've spammed every writing community I'm in with this short story I wrote to warm up for NaNoWriMo, but I haven't put up a link in this journal. Amazing.
It's posted friends-locked, as all my stuff is at this juncture, so to read it, go here and add treigylgweith as a friend. That's my story journal. I'll add you back. Then you can read it. Cumbersome, but it's all the rage this season-- apparently everyone thinks they're going to get published on paper, and if you've already published on the publicly-available Internet, then no publisher will take it. (I have my own ideas on that, but no time or energy to pursue them right now.)

The story, once you're signed up, is visible here:
The Last Test (the working title changes every time I post about it).


So, there you go. I haven't been entirely idle all this time, but have been working. I actually wrote several drafts of that story and practiced my exceedingly rusty editing skills. I don't know that I'll have any time to edit for NaNo, but I hope to spend December editing if all goes well, at which point I'll have finished. The. Stupid. Thing.

But I digress. Yes, I do feel this is 'finished'. :) It's a nice feeling, if a bit miniaturized beside how a finished novel would feel.
