People (you know who you are) demand updates
...but really I have no news (seriously)
--I still own two houses
--I've gotten two rejections since the first of the year and have three stories in the mail
--Twice in my writing career I've been told that my story was very similar to another story I've never read.
--Billie's tracking certification, of which I have two certificates remaining, runs out the *day* before the next tracking test I could conceivably enter so I will have to re-certify her (this would, of course, be moot if she'd passed at one of the two tests we got into last year)
--I am currently working on two short stories (a relatively small number, but if I finish them it will be a triumph of something)
--I realized this morning that 'Two is Not a Pattern' probably has something to do with statistics (also not-vampires) so it's a good thing I was a statistics analyst once upon a time.
And two may not be a pattern, but apparently it's a theme....
