Anyone who knows me personally, it's nothing to fret or freak about. No major life changes or anything, and mostly to do with my writing. And undoubtedly nothing major there either. Just your everyday angst and agitation.

Received:
- 8-hours to a SALE of my nonfiction article "When the guidelines say 'for children 7 to 12': An overview of children's developmental reading stages from a writerly perspective" to Writing-World.com.
This was the article I queried, pitched, and subsequently wrote over the weekend. Plus the editor wants to see the other article I pitched to her, and she pays on acceptance! So yeah-for-sure the contract's going out in the mail tomorrow. After all the research I did for that mongo freelance gig a few weeks back, I was pretty primed to write this. Using my Psych. degree makes for a happy Eugie. A huge thanks go out to
- Email from the editor of GrendelSong that "The Goddess Queen's Battlefield" is going to be in issue #2 not #3. Sooner publication, rah.
- 175-days YFOP from RoF, alas.
- At long last, the notes from the editor asking me to turn my middle-grade novel into a picture book. *gulp* Much sleeve rolling up to commence.
New Words/Editing:
- 500 on "When the guidelines say 'for children 7 to 12'" and several editing passes and reference checks. Obviously, the fork's stuck quivering up to the hilt in this one.
