I can haz Time-Turner?

The mailbox is, for the first time in I don't know how long, empty of betas-to-do. *phew* I didn't do queue today, but I'll make up for it tomorrow. It's been a very productive day in terms of writing and editing. Aside from the last couple of betas that were way overdue, I managed to write some more on the Yule Challenge one-shot and even managed to cut it by about a hundred words, so now it stands at 3800 and has advanced at least close to the main part to meet the prompt. Then I looked at WM. Nearly 1k are written of the latest chapter, but somehow, inspiration stayed away, so I took the original out instead. Which I edited wildly and then rewrote parts of ch 3 in Starbucks while the kids were learning how to defend my sanity. Or my body. Whatever. When we got home, I returned to the *ahem* new one, which I won't post until it's written. But the plot bunny has been biting me for months, and I simply had to succumb to it. It's rough in every respect and from every angle.

In other news, *fingers crossed* Dorkboy should be home late Thursday night, and then, instead of being home three or four days in a month, he'll be away three or four days in a month. After a full two-week break over the holidays. Yay!
