Oh, BTW, Ailleann, I was in Cleveland two weeks ago for a booksigning with a wonderful crowd of Buffistae: Beverly, Deena, Cashmere, Nicole, SJ, Ginger, Teppy...
Mal: Well, you were right about this being a bad idea. Zoe: Thanks for sayin', sir.
'Serenity'
The Great Write Way, Chapter Two: Twice upon a time...
A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda
Sad that I missed it, Deb... Cleveland, only two hours away....
(but I haven't bought any of your books yet, so that might have been weird... bring the library's, see if they notice...)

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Susan, you hung out in Bristol? Do you have any memories of Bruton, by any blessed chance?
No--sorry.

What is even happening?
Deb, I have a friend who lives in Bristol. If you have specific questions you'd like me to ask her, I would be glad to. Just email me.

Woot! Thanks, Cindy. Of course, depending on what/if the offer Ruth makes on the proposal, I may never need it. But the projected fifth book is based on the song Bruton Town, and the entire Bath/Bristol neck of the woods is a bit northeast of my old holiday haunts, when I lived in London. We used to head for Cornwall.

Deb, she's only lived there for a couple of years, although her partner has lived there longer. She was in school in Cheshire (Chester) before that, and I think her folks now live in Kent.
When I saw Susan's response, it dawned on me you were probably asking for reasons other than chit chat. In anticipation, I've sent her an email, saying I had a writer friend asking questions, and asked her if you could either send questions through me, or contact her directly. When I hear from her, I will let you know.
I'm sending Ruth some brainwaves, as I type. If she has an anxiety attack, then I sent the wrong ones, and I hope you'll apologize for me. ;)

Heh. Knowing my editor? She's about as unsusceptible to anxiety attacks at her age as is humanly possible.

Cool. If they wouldn't actually make her anxious, maybe I can intentionally send one her way then, just to get her moving.

The psychic equivalent of poking my editor in the arse with a salad fork?
I like it.

So, on the theory that my editor will at some point make some sort of offer for at least the next book, I actually went and wrote 2500 or so words.
Getting into a groove again. It feels good.
