Jo says he's terrified. She just called him a dork.
Heh. And she's one of the few people who can, I'll bet. Cool news, Deb!
Looks like civilization finally caught up with us.

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.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Because books.
Wheee! That would be very, very cool, Deb.

What is even happening?
I just got a very interesting offer. Not the Kinkaids - do I want to co-write or ghostwrite a non-fiction by someone famous (male), on the subject of "The Ten Women You Meet In Your Life".
Hell yes. If my husband is about to lose his job, I'll take a fat non-fiction advance in a heartbeat.
You'd rock that, Deb. I love that he's chicken to call you.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Aaaand, just got off a three-way conversation. The nice man would like to fly me to NY to sit down F2F and go over it. End of May, looks like.
Boy howdy!
Putting together a brain-dumpy proposal to send him.
And Jo was right - he's scared to death of me. ANOTHER seven planets in Pisces guy, just like Nicholas Rev.1.
Karma in, karma out, karma go round the roses...

AFTER the SF2F, right? Because, you know, not that I'm selfish or anything.

Yep. After.

Oooh! And I bet I know where you'll get to stay...

This is looking more and more like it's happening. Wasn't the first one in the "The Ten People You Meet" series a NYT bestseller? He's talking about doing it with film rights. And I wouldn't be ghosting; I'd get the credit, on the cover, "...as told to Deborah Grabien" or "By Daymond John and Deborah Grabien."
So, after all the F2F stuff has settled down, looks like a long weekend in NY. I'll keep people posted on that one.
Right now, need to go write a nice informal "this is my take on it" email, and send it along.
You may, possibly, hear meeping. Turns out Marlene's partner is having lunch with Well-Known (Tor) Editor today. Said editor is branching out from scifi fantasy and is looking for something new, she doesn't know, but something with continuity and passion and voice. Oh, and said Well-Known Editor is also VERY old friend of mine, of the Grabien family; I actually introduced her to Marlene, back at WorldCon in San Jose.
BB is pitching W-K Editor the Kinkaids and Still Life.
Going to be an interesting week.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Damn, Deb! Kick some serious literary ass!!!

I know there was a Ten (or maybe 5, or 3?) People You Meet in Heaven book.
