Reading the current manuscript on the trip—as I did, now and again—persuaded me I have to do a fast re-edit. This is the book I was working on when my mother passed away. I dropped a few stitches, as you might imagine, so I am going to do the things it needs. For some reason I feel less harried now that I have CC as an outlet and Wave as a place to be able to explain things—and things have leapt into focus, items that I want to fix before I send it out. I like this book. It’s odd, in some ways, but I think it’s a good one, and I just want to do it right.<\/p>\n
Jane has chimed in with some very good points about the continued story; and I think she’s right. I’m going to put it up on a ‘donations’ basis, details to be available later: but there’ll be a pagelet where those who’ve read it (and I suppose anybody else) can comment, speculate to your hearts’ content, etc. I couldn’t do this with one of my more intricate novels—the cross-chatter would drive me mad if not put me right off my writing; but this, involving a pure light adventure and magic story, just should be fun. <\/p>\n
In the meanwhile Lynn is back from her cruise: you’ll have to catch that from her blog—I cannot possibly describe it. But she is also preparing the cover for her novel, soon to be up. <\/p>\n
What other news? I met several of you at ConDor in San Diego: I was charmed.<\/p>\n
ConDor was supposed to run a CC ad in their program book, which didn’t get in (we were lateish) —so they came up with a brilliant fix, downloaded the flyer from the CC site, printed it in screaming dayglo orange and distributed it all over the convention. Those of you planning to take fliers, take along a roll of painters’ blue edging tape: the fussiest hotels seem to be ok with that as a way to keep posters up without damaging their walls.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
