So the proof copies for the next two books - Cornell Dyer and the Old Folks Home AND Lycanthropic Summer - are both due to arrive today.
Unless they come early, I'll probably pick at them over the next week or so, since I'm working this weekend.
And with that, I'm moving on. I've been up since before 4 a.m. and my mind is sluggish.
All brain cells are focusing on this complex question:
Should I open up The Phoenix and get to work?
Or should I take a nap?
Maybe a nap - after I make a couple phone calls.
Maybe.
Because part of me feels like working, at least in partial remembrance of how hard my family and I worked this day nineteen years ago.
My husband was getting ready for work, and I was talking on the phone with one of my editors when she said, "I have to go! A plane just hit the World Trade Center."
I told my husband, and he switched the TV station to the news. And while the newscasters thought they were giving a recap, Ron and I saw a second plane hit the towers in real time - just as the newscasters realized what was happening.
I was to work today in remembrance of those who woke up nineteen years ago and lost their lives, never to work again.
So there's that.
Below these ramblings are all the places you can find me.
After that, a roundup of my feature stories for this week.
Have a great Friday!
