Thursday's Spindrift wordcount ended up at 2600 words, which is good. Not so good is that yesterday's was 650 and today's was 1000 - I'd hoped to get more than that done this weekend, but there was a certain amount of wrestling with the characters going on. Mostly because they weren't getting around to wrestling with each other, apparently preferring to discuss the Euro instead. I should not have told them that I was tired of watching them put the kettle on... Anyway, they seem to have remembered that Sex Is Good, and perhaps tomorrow the word count will do better.

Submitted two stories to Best Gay Erotica, one new and one reprint. Deadline's tomorrow, but the editor takes email subs, should anyone else be interested in submitting to the anthology. If I can get 1000 words on Spindrift out of the way by a reasonable hour tomorrow, I'll do a bit of a listings trawl and try and get some more submissions sorted out. Yes, Hafren and sundry other people, that includes *The* Submission. It would have been done today, only being disciplined about the book that's actually under contract takes priority.

So what did they think about the euro?

That it was inconvenient for silkies initially, because anyone who had a hidden hoard of foreign currency notes had to get them converted, which isn't that easy if you're a silkie. On the other hand, once it was done, it meant only one lot of foreign currency to be kept for most of the countries that British silkies visit, so this was A Good Thing.

God knows what the US readers will make of this, if my editor lets it stay in. But it will amuse the German and Dutch readers.

Ah. Very true.
