Status Report for October, 2024

I completed the first draft of Timecrossed Engineer on October 9, whew. I wrote 20,578 words in October to get to a total of 151,752 words, then started in on the authorial reread because per ladyrowyn's advice, it's hard to get a beta reader to take another look at the story, so I should make sure it's all there first. ^.^;;

... Good thing I did this, I found one continuity error, whoopsies.

I also dusted off my art supplies and began working on illos for Timecrossed Engineer, I'll attach a few beneath a cut tag!

As far as Netflix goes, I watched Star Trek Prodigy season 2, Exception, an artsy science fiction animation, and I decided to check out Sense8, a series that J. Michael Straczynski wrote... I'm not sure how much I want to keep watching it at this point, it seems a bit Hollywood-ish voyeurism. We'll see if it gets to any real action/science fiction soon or not.

I got my COVID and flu shots! No real issues.

I sent my ballot by mail! It's been confirmed as received.

I switched from summer bedding to winter! (extra comforter, new higher-thread-count sheets) Waaaarm. It's starting to get *cold* in my house. (by which, I mean I have the thermostat set to 68F for energy efficiency reasons)

( And now the promised illos! )
