That is the Question
I have things I’m irritated about: our idiot Conservative Federal government, that next season will be the last for Corner Gas, the fact that the Reservation next to my town doesn’t have clean water for half its inhabitants. The first isn’t a specific enough irritation for me to bother with today, the second is probably more of a sadness, and the third I don’t know enough about because I just learned it today via a billboard of sorts beside the highway, and I haven’t been able to find any significant details on the internet.
I have things I’m joyful about: that we managed to get my son to go shoe shopping and found shoes that he likes enough to actually wear, that I’ve got a vacation coming up at the end of the month, that the health of a certain relative is improving, and that my name was mentioned in the outro of a podcast novel episode this week. I just learned this a little after midnight when I finished listening to the episode in question. For the curious (and if you’re not, you should be), it was the second episode of Chasing the Bard by Philippa Ballantine and if you’ve ever enjoyed a fantasy story in the past, this is a good one to try. If you haven’t, but have considered it, it’s still a good one to try. And no, not because she gave me a shout out (Surprised, shocked, and yes, I blushed.), but because it’s a fun story so far and promises to get better.
Hmm, I guess the answer is to blog.

One thousand two hundred nineteen words tonight and one scene shy of finishing the chapter eventually to be labelled 23. It’s 21 at the moment, but at some point I need to go back and write a pair of shorter action-packed chapters that I added in to the outline after the fact as part of the background to certain events. I’m pleased with the progress.
