I had some good intentions about writing out a sort of media roundup of stuff I watched in the last week or two, and even got started on that, but... I need to shower and sleep and stuff like that, so gotta punt THAT forward a ways.
-
I did get my new copy of City of Saints and Madmen - a day early! - and this one does include all the correct stories, ha. I'm glad of that, because I didn't want to have to try and hunt down a more obscure edition, lol. (Or, more likely, just borrow Taylor's copy. And maybe photocopy the missing bits.)
I'm part-way into "The Transformation of Martin Lake", which Taylor said was their very favorite story out of the book, and I'm liking so far.

Work had some critical payroll failure last night, so no one's direct deposits went through. Apparently there was a mad crush early this morning to get physical checks printed and then distributed to all of our offices.
I got to use my bank's mobile check deposit for the first time, so that's fun.

Mods for the zine I've been writing a fic for want me to change the end just slightly, so I've been trying to mentally figure how to rework it. I feel like I can just change a few pieces around... They said the ending seems abrupt, and want something to happen after the dialogue I closed on. I'm fine with that, but I really don't have any further parts I want to cut, so instead I just want to rework the scene. Seems like a matter of getting the bits to jigsaw back together, but I haven't had an Ah ha! moment just yet.
After sorting THAT out, I'll try to turn my energy toward some new writing project. I've been slacking on that (but enjoying reading, so not too sad that I've been spending my free time on that.)

And ugh, seriously. Super frustrated by the payroll thing, and I hope they can figure it out and keep it from happening again!
Thank you! I hope I can make it work in a way the zine staff like.
