I'm mostly trying to leave the manuscript alone for a couple of weeks until I get feedback from the proofreaders. Instead I've pulled out the Mac Criomthann stories which will make up most of that next collection. I may however try uploading the current draft of the manuscript to Lulu to see if they've instituted any annoying new changes to the process in the last two years. After I publish
The Well of Wisdom and the Mac Criomthann collection #3, my next book will be another spin-off:
Taliesin: King Arthur's Bard. I have a lot of bits and pieces already for that one, so hopefully it will only take a year to write, not two!
I've been doing a lot of yard work the last week, partly because the city inspector came by and left me a notice about tall weeds. This has happened before, and I think I've got on his "naughty list", but it's stuff that needed doing anyway now that the weather has cooled down a bit. At least no more raccoon damage, but there are no more tomatoes for them now. Also the Japanese beetles have mostly disappeared except for a few on the remaining (highly shredded) Virginia Creeper. A gardener's work is never done - I'm looking forward to winter.
