Okay so it was another interesting night at work. It is getting so the drama there at work could infuse life into any old soap opera. Feels like you need a score card to keep track of who is dating who, who isn’t friends with who, who is has an in with the junior mangers so may not have to work and can disappear to talk or go on cigarette breaks whenever they like. I long for the store I use to work in where rules mattered and policies were followed.

In the mean time I can happily announce I have finally finished Red. It is in the hands of my editor and my new beta. So we can see just what happens to this one. This little story will be a four parter. I’ll admit I have a problem. I read too many fairy tales and myths as a child so if something is open for that you can bet I will take a shot at it. Red, I will admit, came about because fellow GAer, Elezbed, suggested I take a crack at Little Red Riding Hood. Okay so I have a cape, a woodcutter, a grandmother, a wolf, and Red from the original. If you have read any of my retellings of the fairy tales you know I am going to turn that on its ear and I do. Oh well. I just hope it will be well received when it is posted.

I have less than five chapters of Accidents Happen left. It is sad to see Charlie’s story coming to an end. He was a really sweet character and has been opening so many doors for me here at GA. His little story has sort of gotten me noticed. I will be sorry to see him go. My next major project is one that Andy commented on and suggested I detail. So my Summer Anthology piece is going to be expanded and reworked. Jonas is my next character to breathe full life into and see what that brings.

Finally I am enjoying the cooler temps at night. It is so much more comfortable and I also want to do more when you can just be comfortable. I was never much of a summer person. I have always adored the spring or fall. Those are the two seasons of vibrant color. In the spring flowers are blooming, the grass turning green, and the birds are filling the air with color and song. Fall brings the sweet fruits and vegetables of the season, the falling leaves in bright reds, oranges, yellows, and browns. Then both seasons are cool enough for a light jacket but you neither are constantly freezing or sweating your butt off.

So that is about all I have to say. Tomorrow I am up early on my day off for my Weight Watchers meeting. Then I have just a bit of shopping to do. I have a feeling I might have to run out to Riverhead to get what I want for an upcoming birthday. Other than that I can’t say I have much to complain about. Hope everyone is having a good one.
