Another busy day, and one with All the Weathers–sun, clouds, wind, drenching rain, more sun…whatever it was, five minutes later it would be something else. Got one freelance job done; another one came in. Hey-ho. Oh, and there is news on the Substitute Innkeepers deal for this winter: it’s going to be three months, not […]

I got all my author-responses out today–both yea and nay–so if you’ve submitted to the “Witches, Stitches, and Bitches” anthology and haven’t heard from me, let me know! We did have a few stories that came to us outside of the established channels. But I think we caught all of them in the net. 🙂

So, things are moving forward, but all of them more slowly than anticipated. Such is life. Mark was feeling better, so we went tablet shopping after all, and bought an iPad Mini, which I look forward to playing with the next time I’m in the same state with it. 🙂 Because Mark also went home

Mark is still here, and still sick; though he is somewhat better today. He did get out of bed and come downstairs for an hour or so. :/ But, yes, poor thing. So no tablet shopping today either. It may have to wait till the next time we’re together, because he has to get back

Alas, the tablet-shopping did not happen today, for Mark woke up with a horrible cold, and has spent the day in bed. (so you still have time to get recommendations/warnings/advice to me!) He was meant to go home to Seattle today, but of course did not, which you’d think I’d be happy about; but I’d

Tomorrow Mark and I are going to out tablet-shopping. Probably an iPad, but maybe just an e-reader sort of thing and a tablet later. Because it is time to join the world of books-as-pixels, if only to gaze upon things we’ve published that appear only in pixels. Any recommendations, advice, warnings? Let me know!

Popped up to Seattle yesterday, on the new Bolt Bus, to have dinner with EB and scarlettina. Then hurried back down here this morning, so Mark could do several business-related things, one of which involved a delightful dinner out with an old art colleague, and his wife, and me. Lots of yummy eating. And this

I did many things today, but got nothing all the way to done, so, it doesn’t feel very accomplishment-ish, but, oh well. I was busy and productive anyway, even if it doesn’t feel like it. Partly this may be because I was moving a bit slow, because I was awakened quite thoroughly at 4am, when

Look, a pile of manuscripts: That’s all the submissions so far for “Witches, Stitches, and Bitches”–there are still a few trickling in (submitted by the deadline, but still wending their way to me), but that’s mostly the size of it. I’ve read them all, every word. And, almost all of them in the last two

Wow, a lot of stories came in today. I’ve been reading, reading, reading. (That it is my work, to read things? Life does not suck.) 🙂 This is going to be such a cool anthology, you guys, you have no idea. I cannot say more–I know there are more stories coming in which I have
