We are not going to make it by any decent hour tonight, and we don’t want to open Closed Circle for the west coast, Hawaii and Australia while the east coast and Europe is asleep. Tomorrow at 12 noon Sunday in Spokane will be 3pm in New York, 8pm in London, and 7am Monday in Sydney, late but not impossible in the Eastern Med and Middle East…I think. This seems to be the best time for us ALL to enjoy the opening as a global event—how’s that for ambition? And no, I don’t expect our readers in Australia to be up at 7 am! Catch a few extra zz’s, definitely so if you’re in Perth, drop in for breakfast before heading for work, and by then maybe we’ll have ironed out any bugs.
We expect glitches. This enterprise has many, many moving parts and we have never pushed the Start button before. Be patient with us. We’ll be attentive to comments on our blogs, and we hope you will find it is worth the wait.
I am so ready for this!
Wow! Wow! It’s happening!!! Yay!
ms. cherryh, this is SEHR WUNDEBAR! when i get home tomorrow night from my artist open studio, i will definitely check out the newly opened closed circle! CONGRATULATIONS to y’all! 😉
D
I’ll be there with bells on! 😆 😆
I’ll be on!
Whoopeee!!! The fruits of much labor have arrived
and launch in hours!! Glitches simply make the
first few weeks interesting(ok,you get headaches
and we say ‘huh,I wonder how THAT happened’). The
very best wishes for the three of you and your
brain child!!

Hopeless,just hopeless,I can’t handle a simple
smiley.
I think you just type the typographical symbols we USED to use 😉 😉 🙂
i.e. ; )
; – )
and : ) without the spaces.
Let’s see if that worked.
(Sure wish WP had previews of posts)
And some programs understand :LOL: an :blush:
This is TOO exciting. I may have to go and lie down in a darkened room for a while….
Good luck for the launch. For what it is worth, fingers and toes will be crossed here in the hope it goes smoothly. If not, I’m sure we’ll all wait patiently for however long it takes. That CC is happening at all is far too wonderful to worry about the odd delay.
Nope, not this one. 🙁
colon lol colon = 😆 I put 3 spaces between last letter, punctuation so the smiley spirits don’t assume punctuation. I keep them written down in my nerdbook.
Thanks guys! The smiley download has hit the
trash. If I can’t use it across my different
interfaces then it’s useless to me. : lol :
Azurblu, close up the gaps in that lol and it should laugh for you. 😉
I just say, “Wonderful”
And don’t wreck your health.
Now I have to see if I’ve maxed out my card so I can, at least, make a token purchase.
Good luck don’t ruin your health. In at least the medium term, I hope that this will produce at least a modest stream of revenue, a new kind of backlist, that will enhance your ability to intrigue and entertain us further.
I especially look forward to browsing books I’ve only heard of and never seen, even in a used bookstore.
Jane went to bed at 4:17—I know because she told me she heard me getting up as she hit the sack. I went to bed 11-ish last night, leaving Jane still cleaning up her files. I was up at 4:17, starting to work on details, and she waked at about 7:45, and has been at it ever since.
CJ
