Un-wordy (with, IMO, good cause)

Today finds me:

• waiting for decisions on three story submissions.
• on the lookout for paperwork on a story resale. 
• expecting page proofs on the next (May) installment of an ongoing serial.
• anticipating copy edits for the story collection in the publication process.
• hoping to see draft cover art for the novel in the publication process.

Oh, and starting tomorrow, I'll have painters onsite for a few days.

I'm thinking it'll be a while till I start a new project. And that a bit of downtime is okay.
