Hm. Well, when Kly suggested changing the POV I'm thinking she didn't mean this, exactly. I don't know if it works. But I can write this without wanting to gouge out my eyeballs and eat them. Which is something. I guess.

A bit of the Nun book follows.

Heard from the publisher about the book cover and accepted the assignment -- which pays not too badly, and is not due yesterday. Nice.

Should do some more Code commentary. I'm actually within striking distance of finishing. It would feel nice to finish something, even a silly thing like the commentary: the sequel is stalled, I'm in the First Chapter Wilderness with the nun book, everything is so... not done.

Meant to paint Madonnas today, but spent the bulk of my time on the nun book. In the wilderness.

Started another painting -- and gosh, that Maxfield Parrish is one tough guy to forge. Put a foot wrong with those whacky colors of his and it looks like you dropped a tray of Easter egg dye on the canvas. Gonna have to quit while I'm ahead and throw myself on Claude Lorraine. Good old Claude Lorraine, solid, classical Claude Lorraine, almost impossible to foul up. I just want a pastoral sunset to go inside the gorgeous cherrywood frame I got half off at Dick Blicks! Something to glow under the cute wall-fixture I inherited -- don't want to actually struggle over a bit of decoration...!

Urp. Just realized I don't know what media the pub want me to use for this cover. Holy cats. My luck isn't exactly running with oils. I hope to heck they'll go for guache or watercolor. Eep.

God bless those among us who can proof. Thanks to the timely intervention of proofing whiz and cherished beta Diane, I have edited the endless trail of goofs in the nun chapter.

Yeesh. I have to wonder if my typo blindness isn't some form of quantifiable disabilty, maybe.
