The Literary Underworld has all your small press horror and fantasy needs. I cannot recommend THE COLD ONES or SETTING SUNS highly enough.

Finished galley proofing ALIVE ON THE INSIDE. Will send it in tomorrow.

Got my work benefits updated. Mudd is no longer on my health insurance. I am contributing to the 401K at work.

Did laundry.
Had Turkey tetrazinni for supper.

Tomorrow is impossible turkey pie. Then Italian sausage spaghetti on Sunday.

Nano died. My life went to hell, so my writing took the hit.
Write in 2 PM tomorrow, tho, at U of M.

Haven't seen Naomi in chat for a couple days. Am worrying, as usual.

I work tomorrow. So, off to bed.
