The sun is shining, the trees are green, the neighborhood kids are outside beating each other vigorously with lacrosse sticks, and I have a bucket of buttermilk fried chicken and some limeade.
Ah, springtime.
Now I'm going to study the books I got from the library on Norse mythology and continue making notes. My brain is boiling on this idea I have, and I can't do anything but write it. It feels so good to be passionate about a new idea again. This is exactly the reason why I write, this feeling right now; being really excited about a new project. It just permeates my life and makes my limbs tingle. It gives me drive. I think this might be what living is really all about. It also feels really good to know that I'm not going to end up being a one-book pony.
And now if you'll excuse me, I have some celebratory fried chicken to attend to.
Edited to add: This is some damn fine chicken. I'm beginning to think that celebratory fried chicken might be another thing that living is really all about.

Saturday in the mail I got a form reject from my agent-of-choice. Also got my latest copy of fantasy&science fiction, which included stories by two authors I despise, whose writing is pap. Hugo-nominated pap. Blech.
Great. Now I feel old. Great.
