lauraanne_gilmanHappy birthday, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
marinarusalka! May it be filled with much happy squee.
-----------------
Managed to get 2,000 new words yesterday, working around paperwork and Other Life Events. Now all I have to do is keep that pace for another month, and it's smooth sailing. Um, yeah. Well, it's a goal. It's good to have goals, right? I also managed to write an entire scenelet that may not actually fit in the book, but was good to put down on the page -- it filled out a lot of the character interactions, and finally let me use some venom I've been saving for a special occasion. Never irritate a writer. You'll end up in a book, sooner rather than later, and it won't be pretty.
----------------------------------
I haven't been posting much about things financial or political because at this point you're either paying attention or your head's so firmly in the sand you've struck oil. But while we're all peeking carefully with one eye at the financial news, and wincing, there's other stuff going on in DC, too. From the New York Times this morning:
A few weeks before he left office, President George W. Bush told federal officials that, in effect, they did not have to bother getting the advice of wildlife experts before taking actions that might harm plants or animals protected by the Endangered Species Act.
On Tuesday, President Obama said that, in effect, they did.
Saving the future, one presidential edict at a time. (okay, it's not a total reversal. It's moving in the right direction, for a change. Save the polar bear. Save the world. [Not just the humans who live on it])
-----------------------
And now I must get to that to-do list. Y'all have a good day, y'hear?
