catching up
After a long day on the road we're back home in the land of cool afternoons. It's very good to be home.
There are quite a few questions that have piled up in the last ten days, which I will post about as time permits. There was a question about writing dialect, a couple about novels that incorporate letters in various formats, and just after I left on this trip, a question on how to get published.
Also, I have some fairly big publishing-type news to share, which I will do in short order.
Finally, though I haven't mentioned her in a while, I do check in with gettupgrrl regularly. After so many years of heartbreaking infertility treatment it seems as though her baby boy has arrived. At least she posted (somewhat cryptically) to that effect two days ago:
Ladies and handful of male readers, we are beginning our final descent into something completely different. The captain has now turned on the "Fasten Seat Belts" sign. At this time, we ask that you discontinue use of all electronic devices, stow any carry-on items, and bring your seat backs and tray tables into their full and upright positions. Please remain in your seats until the plane has come to a complete stop.Remain calm, do not panic, and practice the zombie survival skills that we discussed earlier.
Thank you. We hope that you have enjoyed your flight.
I'm starting to worry, a little.
