the_rckWe actually got our Imperfect Foods box this week. Given that we didn't get a box last week, we weren't sure we would.
I've almost finished a draft of one of my lingering WIP. It's kind of skeletal in terms of sense of place and of anchoring sensory details, but it's more than 11000 words so far. I may edit for description, but I also may not. I think there are only about a dozen people who'll read this one because it's a crossover of two of my previous long series (the two Sky High series) and won't make any sense without those. It's a fairly self-indulgent thing but also fun for me to write.
I'm thinking that I might make a list of my WIP again and ask you all if any of the stories are of particular interest. I think that knowing that a specific person was interested in a specific story might help me finish it. Maybe I'll just stick with the stories that I think will be short(ish) standalones. I'd like to feel like I'm finishing things rather than starting and abandoning dozens more things.
Today will be a day for cooking, I think. Well, some cooking. We haven't finished last week's pot pie yet, so making more has to wait for the dish to be empty and clean. I can bake the squash today, though, and get Scott and Cordelia to chop up the other ingredients. I also want to change our sheets and run 2-3 loads of laundry.
I've been trying to read some of the fics and ebooks that I've previously downloaded for later reading. I've got nearly 600 things that I either haven't read or am not sure whether or not I've read. Some of them are relatively short while others really aren't. I made a bad indexing choice when I created my spreadsheet of ebooks, however, so I can't sort by length right now.
Basically, I appended 'words' or 'pages' to all entries in my length field so that I could distinguish what metric I was using. Ordering things by that field doesn't treat the numbers as numbers, so '197 words' indexes after '18444444 words.' (The fields are author, title, fandom (using Gutenberg as a fandom), length, series, read (y/n/?), and notes.)
