There, Now

I have stitched all the gussets in my corset (the interlining and lining are all sewn; still have to connect the pieces of the cover, Hoping the stays and busk I ordered show up today).

I have pulled the trigger on an application for a job that looks like it would be really swell.

I have polished up my Friday sarahtolerance.com blog post.

I have fed the young nation and sent it off to work.

What haven't I done yet? Worked on the damned book. Which is still in that awkward early stage where it could do anything, almost. Maybe I could do more research! No, no. I'll write. Really.

Progress

1600 words today. They may not be words I will keep, but they encompass material that I needed to have out on the table. If that makes any sense at all.
