(no subject)

Those who follow me on Facebook know already - the deed is done. Today I sent my novel out again to the editor who liked the premise when I sent it out the first time. I have been revising it for one year and two weeks.

Tomorrow I begin the outline of a (third) second novel. I figure it's good to several on the go. Today I'm vegging in Vana'diel - though I did more than my quota this morning, so I don't feel guilty.

I miss seeing friends, though.

What else? I just finished a scary exposé on the religious right in Canada - The Armageddon Factor by Marci McDonald. I thought I was prepared for it, but I hadn't realised how far they'd gone in taking over our judiciary, in founding a parallel education system so their kids won't be infected by Canadian values like tolerance, and are re-writing the history books so that Canada was always an evangelical nation betrayed by secularism.

And we've always been at war with Oceania. It sounds like conspiracy theory, but her credentials are solid and her sources are sound. And I've seen enough close up that I can believe what I haven't seen.

So I'm a bit more melancholy than I would normally would be on a day when I've gotten one large step closer to achieving my dream.
