Not For Your Sake But For Mine

kateelliottAfter living in this state for 4 years, I now read things like "sake" as rice wine (or the sign in the doctor's office for a meningitus shot as me-no-mu-ne rather than men-omune as in immune). But I mean the English word.
Anyway, I'm posting the following not because I think anyone is particularly interested, but because I believe in the idea that if I post it, then I have to be serious about it, having made a public commitment.
On January 1st, 2007, I posted:
Unanswered email in iMac inbox: 19 + 27 = 46
Unanswered email in iBook inbox (which I only use on trips, so it's long overdue stuff): 29 + 20 = 49
Traditional letters I must write, and should have written weeks or months ago: 5
Shadow Gate (Crossroads Book Two), current approx. word count: 110,000
Today, Jan. 7th:
Unanswered email in iMac inbox: xxx + 6
(xxx is the regular inbox, and it is crammed with unanswered lj comments, so I'm not counting it today, but the important number in this case is 6, down from 27)
Update 10 pm HT (Hawaiian Time): this number is now 10 + 9 = 19
Unanswered email in iBook inbox: 10 + 18 = 28
Traditional letters I must write, and should have written weeks or months ago: 5
Shadow Gate, current approx word count: 115,000
Onward. I have promised myself a carabiner watch when I catch up on all my overdue correspondence.
