scaryvoice

Cold still hanging on. Mostly a sore and froggy throat in mornings and evenings, daytime seems to be ok. Doesn't really affect my work since I generally don't talk to anyone all day anyway. Jeff says my froggy voice alternates between sounding sexy and kind of scary. :-)

Novel rewrite's going well; I'm up to 20,000 words (averaging between 1000-1500 words/day right now), still aiming to have it finished and sent off by the end of the year. No, I was not tempted at all by Nanowrimo this year, no sirree, no way, uh-uh. (shaddup, Parki!)

A sprained elbow and accompanying tendinitis flare-up earlier in the year set me back in my schedule, but I'm back on track again. Found writing gigs through Guru.com and Craigslist.com recently while researching for Inkygirl.com, have another article due soon.

Don't think I'm going to take up any new sports this year, or go skating in the winter. I would really, REALLY like to get my right arm fully healed.

Penny whistle update ... So far I've learned:

The Swallow Tail
The Donegal Reel
The Galway Rambler
Cooley's Reel
The Boyne Hunt

Next up: The Sligo Maid!

Jim Leonard has his OVFF photos up, for those interested.
