What I accomplished today:

I did physical therapy for my ankle. That pesky tendon is still not tightened completely.

I did yoga.

I worked on the lettering for issue three of THE LAUGHING CORPSE in comic form.

I fixed three meals for the family.

I answered lots of business e-mails, and even a few personal ones. I’m getting better at that whole evil-mail thing.

Signed lots of stuff. Guys, if you send in a box with fifty to a hundred, or more, books that you want me to sign, then your box goes to the end of the line. People who send in one book, or a few books, or comics, are going to get signed first. Because I open up the box and it’s so packed, that it’s just discouraging to think about signing it all. So, for all those who have sent the big boxes, that’s what’s happening.

I went to parent teacher conferences at Trinity’s school. President Elect Obama went to his kid’s conference, so I couldn’t figure out a way to say my schedule was too packed.

What I did not accomplish today:

My page count. Very discouraging, that. I actually spent a lot of the morning trying to figure out how the metaphysics of the scene would work, because we’re involving real magic, not just the made up stuff. Always harder when you’re doing a hybrid of real and imaginary. I think I’ve got it figured out, but I really did need to know how it would work before I wrote the scene. But, by the time I figured it out, it was time to eat lunch if I had any chance of it digesting enough before yoga. Then, yoga, then parent teacher conference, then it was like time to come home and be thinking about dinner. The day was gone. Sigh.

Tomorrow is another day, as they say. My grandmother was fond of saying, "The sun will come up tomorrow, and if it doesn’t, then it didn’t matter anyway." Always the cheerful one, my Granny.
