ysilme here: I'm posting a bit early today and didn't find leisure to write so far; the spousal unit combines a decent booster reaction with an upset stomach which is kind of a powered-up man flu, and kitty boy #1 has cabin fever because it was sunny and warm outside today but why is it now dark and boring and I'm responsible for the sun having gone away. *rolls eyes* (He's nearly deaf so being outside at night doesn't do much for him).

sylvanwitch here: I added 442 words to yesterday's story and am quite happy with the progress I'm making. I haven't abandoned "Cherry's Ghosts," but these days, I try to let myself do what makes me happier, and right now, it's this newest story, with the highly unoriginal working title, "Magic School." *grins*

Day 3: More noodling on Leigh Brackett. I hit a snag on my idea of writing about a science fiction, a mystery and a western because her one (1) western, Follow the Free Wind is seriously out of print and fairly expensive secondhand. I suspect we have it at the bookshop...somewhere... in a box. Sigh. I ordered a crappy ex-library hardcover ($14.00) instead of a snappy vintage paperback ($50 and up!). Because it sounds like an interesting book; based on the life of Jim Beckwourth, an ex-slave who lived with the Crow and became a pretty fierce warrior, then went on to do other stuff like joining the California gold rush, some exploration, running various businesses, and some, ugh, sketchy service with the US Army. I'm not how much of all this Brackett's book covers.

Anyway, her mysteries (2 I think?) are easier to find, and I snaffled up all the Bracketts in the SF section at the shop, so that's a cinch. Lots of reading to do...

Ysilme: I hope the spousal unit is feeling better! And that you got some writing in.

Sylvanwitch: Yay for writing what makes you happy! 8-)

Thank you, my friend! And good luck with the reading--that all sounds fascinating, particularly the life of Jim Beckwourth. I hope the western turns out to be interesting (and worth the $14.00). :-)

Wow, that's some kind of research you're doing there, if you've got to get your hands on the source material first. Good luck!
Yes, husband is fine again, and I wrote an alibi sentence. And then read instead of writing. ;op
