A Good Wind

I think I'm going to continue with the nautical titled posts for another day as it feels like today the wind truly changed from yesterday. In the end I turned in my draft and already one group member has said it looks good and that makes me happy. I also ended up writing a long post over on my librarian blog and playing with the theme, it can be found at Nurturing Stories on Wordpress. The weather isn't quite as humid as before and walking home there was a breeze and it felt like there might rain later.

I spent most of today fretting about references as my cover letter and resume are all set to be sent to Kentucky but I need to update my references. I actually have a couple of people in mind and emailed them but I haven't heard back. So I can't send things off just yet but as soon as I get the okay they'll be off.

Tomorrow I'm going to have lunch with two of my favorite people in Ann Arbor, the couple of M and T as they're about to leave town soon. We were going to meet today but I overslept and so missed their email saying, let's meet at your place so it didn't happen.

Instead I sent emails and then before work finished reading After the Golden Age, which I picked up on bodldops recommended in a Milliways' DE. Its a fantastic read, if you love superheroes, if you love seeing the rest of the world around the superheroes then go read this book. The main character is the daughter of the two main superheroes but she's without powers and her voice is amazing as the author, Carrie Vaughn captures all the complications and family dysfunction in a natural way.

Then at work, someone from where I did my internship stopped by and said that what I'd put in place is really making a difference and that I should see how everything's looking. That's had me beaming since it happened because I knew I was changing things and helping but this was just amazing. Now I'm home and considering what to do for food and possibly doing some writing.

As ashen_key just saw X-Men, recs and things flew about and one of the fics that walksbyherself pointed out about scars gave me an idea to write about Kait and Sameth. It started out being her taking care of him when he finally has time to be at Milliways after the end of canon, but then keeps branching out in my head. One reason I love taking him through canon is so there's the fascinating beginning for him as he and everyone else figures out what being a Wallmaker truly means. Also After the Golden Age does a great job of riffing on all the familiar superhero tropes and the telepath is beautifully written. I think I might need to go see X-Men again and poke at things as my writing brain just kicked in.

Please leave prompts here for me as I want to write more.
