UP and down week... I think I finally got myself back in order at least. Now if the rest of the world would let me stay that way.

A week last Friday was supposed to be a DragonStorm game. I was going to be late as I had to be at a wedding rehearsal but I thought I could still make it an hour late. Somehow that become "She can't make it" to someone and when someone else couldn't make it, the game got canceled. *sigh* But that was evened out since this past Friday became a DragonStorm game that was not a regularly schedualed one with friends from Cleveland coming down to Columbus. It is good to be out and be with real live adults even if it is to only play games.

The block on Crazy Lady from Down the Street but now in Jail and her aggravating phone calls went through. *YEAH* Only now she calls other people to call us, *BOO* Last night she convinced someone there at the jail to call us from another number. What part of Blocked Number is so hard to understand? This will NOT continue...

Am working on a new paper mache project. It's a wonder my fingers are not glued together. Heres to hoping that it actually turns out o.k. The other project for the week was using wood from the garage along with other bits and pieces of Projects Long Gone and/or Things That Broke to create a pole lamp for a grow light form my plants. I hope to get through the winter this year with them looking less ratty by the time Spring arrives. Hubby tells me the police are gonna come knocking since grow lights are the dominion of the Marijuana Growers of Dayton. I'll just offer him up to the police since he thinks that is a great joke...

'Bout time to get off this computer and back to writing. Still have one scenario to finish writing before the Great Gaming Convention of Pentacon. It is slowly taking shape, I think. I'm not sure I'm happy with it right now but who knows what will happen anyway with it once the PCs get involved. Things have a way of getting changed on the spot if not actually going WAY off track...

Well, GenCon is over.  While I look forward each year to going to see my friends,  the con itself gets less appealing.  There is not enough room for all the people who go anymore, too many tables of games are crowded in each room, and whoever is inc harge of assigning table space needs to learn how to NOT spread games of the same system all over downtown Indianapolis.  *sigh*  Ok, rant over.
    I did get to go to a few of the writer's symposiums at the Con.  I actually am trying to learn how to get this "short" story to be the best it can.  It is up to over 14,000 words now but I did learn that most novels are published at 90,000 to 130,000 words.  I guess I got a long way to go, huh?  One thing I hadn't done so I changed when I got home was to double space and use 12 pt type on the document.  I suddenly went from about 16 pages to 46 pages for what was typed into the computer.  Boy, that allowed to me to find a huge bunch of typos even in sections I have already proof read 3-4 times!  At some point in this life I absolutely must learn to type better.
    Have had to work at the crappy job (the one I get a paycheck for even if it's a lousy paycheck) for the last two days.  I really hope to get the hand written pages typed in to the computer today  I'm tired as Monday's night job and Tuesday's morning job allowed me only 3 hours of sleep.  Even with sleeping all night last night I still feel like I'm dragging.  But school started today so I may be able to get a few things done without kids underfoot. 
    Well, time to leave the internet for a bit.  Have a great day!
