Pyrrhic Victory

I received my beautiful little Endowed Chair brochure yesterday. I’m going to try to get the picture from it into my icon mix. I look like some professor.

Tomorrow is supposed to be my first day off for writing, but I guess I have to be here to field student traffic. That’s sort of anti-climactic really, and I’m cranky about that. I want my Endowed Chair, and I want it now.

So, I guess this is me, suggesting for the second time publicly this year, that I could consider another job if my writing life took off, if I had enough to pay for those insurance/retirement things.

The rest would just be me being cranky, so I’ll stop now.

The Return of the Herc-o-meter

Today’s word count.

This is mostly the addition of the new master outline, as I had one of *those* days at work. It’s the first day back, and the unregistered students are like woah…I have to go in tomorrow, but I plan to run away at noon and work on a couple of scenes from 12-3. Dangit!

So, some trivia. Since I’m rewriting Tony’s fantasy of the Lemaean Hydra tomorrow, can you tell me how many heads the hydra had? I also plan to rewrite the scenes establishing Tony and Bianca’s relationship, and write the first draft showing Leo’s interest in his boss Diana. A tad ambitious, but that’s what I want.

See you tomorrow!
