for the curious:

1. I have nothing eligible for a Nebula, so you'll have to wait and nom me for a Hugo instead. (-:
2. I won't be at Arisia, because I couldn't get a hotel room.
2a. This also means Eldest won't be making her first appearance in the art show as she'd hoped.
3. I don't know about Boskone yet.

Also:
4. Discovered that the door of my toaster oven was made of safety glass.
5. Reconfirmed long-held belief that one's feet are the best way to find broken glass.
6. Did not let the babies test #6 themselves, despite immediate opportunity.

Also also:

7. WTF, Oster? The toaster oven was barely over a year old and has been in no way mistreated, so I don't get how the simple act of opening the door should cause it to suddenly turn into an outwards explosion of glass bits all over me, Eldest daughter, and as far as the sprogs in their high chairs.

About 1850 new words today. All new, no revision, kind of a slow slog. I'm not sure how much I'll end up keeping -- the drive to produce words in quantity in order to legitimately beat NaNo this year is at war with the desire to not end up with another very long draft of crap that'll take me years and years to revise into shape again. If I can find somewhere in between those two, I think I'll be happy.
