Dec. 6th, 2010 09:55 amAt long last I've finished my space-squid story Surf to my satisfaction, and it went out on its maiden postal voyage this morning. It's been quite a while since I've sent a paper copy of anything out, and honestly, as much as it's mildly inconvenient and costs money, there's also something more tangible to the act and to the accomplishment, and I think I needed that right now.
One hopes that this is a positive turning point for an otherwise spectacularly crappy week which has included, among a much longer list of woes big and small, my youngest child sustaining second-degree burns in a daycare accident, me breaking my toe*, the complete and utter destruction of my living room carpet via an improperly secured-from-toddlers megabox of chicken broth, ongoing Comcast internet fuckage, and far, far too little sleep.
But hey, forget all that. I sent a story out. Maybe it'll sell. That'd be cool.
