I am sick. I feel better tonight than I have all day, but still kind of crappy. Thankfully(?) I was able to pretty much sleep all day, or at least doze, wth my puppy curled up at my feet. She is sitting beside me on the bed as i type this. Total sweetheart.

In order that my weekend not be a total write off, I have been looking over an NSF application prepared by one of my colleagues. I may poke around a bit more at mne in a bit. or I may do some history readings.

I also submitted Cursed Wreck to Arkham Tales, a new lovecraftian horror mag that curtana put me on to a while ago. This was prompted by my finaly receiving my first copy of Cemetery Dance magazine, which I ordered.... Dark aeons ago ;p I thiik they are more likely to like Shadow of a Place, and it isn't ridiculously long, the way CW is (7200 words! Yikes!). I should get it ready and print and sibmit it. I'm still waiting to hear back about Keep Off the Grass, but that (probably rejection ;p) should come any day now. I still don't know where I should try Soul Proprietor.

I started writing a Steam Punk story on the way to TO, but I haven't looked at it since. And I have all my TF fics and abandoned serials.... :/

I would like to try and set up a more scheduled creative writing time, but I think I'd do better at it if I had some external support. I suspect it will be a nice break from working on grants and so forth. Speaking of, I should get to work on something like that, shouldn't I :/

So then - gonna read 2 history articles and then poke at NSF.
