I still loff writing, but...

I got a form rejection today. Meh. First one in a long time, so I guess I was overdue. *sends story off with good wishes*

I didn't get much writing done today because of thunderstorms. My surge protector was my friend. Still, things got hairy enough that I had to give it up and read a book. (Oh, the suffering.)

The storm was very cool. Lots of lightning (which fried my neighbor's TV) and ear-splitting thunder. I went outside to huggle the dogs as they were in a bit of a state. I mean, this is CALIFORNIA for heaven's sake. Usually, we get a little drizzle and call it "rain."

But the storm has passed (alas) and now I must pretend that today's form reject didn't happen so I can confidently type away.

*types*

Sorry about the form rejection. When I get them these days I can't help but wonder what I did so terribly wrong. Unless I get it from Asimovs or Realms of Fantasy, then I know it's just business. These days I take form rejections as a personal challenge. Put it an envelope and send it back out.

We don't have thunderstorms as often in Minnesota as we did in Oklahoma, so I miss that. Of course, we also don't have as many tornados, so you take the good with the bad and all!

My family is from Oklahoma. Boy do they have skeery tornado stories! I'll taking a little thunderstorm any day.

ah Enid, north of Stillwater. I used to live down in Chickasha on the other end of Highway U.S. 81. My wife and I met out in Weatherford, then we lived for several years in Norman while she went to OU.
