a wednesday like a monday; cloudy and bright
This morning I did something I haven't done in years. I went out to buy a newspaper. A New York Times.
This, I want in solid document form.
And while out I didn't see wild dancing or huge smiles. I saw people who had woken up -- pleased, if they are not part of a small minority -- but knowing that today's a workday, and there's a lot of work to be done.
And so it is here. Author corrections for BURNING BRIDGES go back today, along with a freelance project (a day late but I got dispensation). Revisions for HARD MAGIC arrived and need to be polished off, and Vineart War 1 (now with New! Perfect! title pending approval) has to be likewise finished. Plus there's a bunch of paperwork that needs to be done, and soon it will be time to think about writing PACK OF LIES and MUSTANG....
Coffee. I'll take it strong, black and sweet, this morning. *smiles*
EtA: the transcript of Obama's speech is here.
There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy I make as president, and we know that government can't solve every problem. But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And, above all, I will ask you join in the work of remaking this nation the only way it's been done in America for 221 years — block by block, brick by brick, callused hand by callused hand.
Yes. Please Universe, yes.
