It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Not my fame - someone else's. He deserves to be there and I deserve a shot at making it happen. I've put more than heart into it, I've put blood and sinew and thirty years of penance.
So many ifs. But I'm not stopping. It's time.
And I'm scared shitless.
Anyway. Gar, that's a good one.

Gar, that is particularly noteworthy in light of the conversation in Bitches. Very well done.
Deb, good luck with the piano! Hope it all happens the way you want.

REVIEWS SCHEDULED FOR THE AUGUST 15 ISSUE OF KIRKUS, AS OF August 1:
....Grabien, Deborah, Cruel Sister
Good thing my brain is completely occupied elsewhere. Opening salvo of the new round of reviews always makes me nervous until I see it.

What sparked the idea. Deborah, you will get good reviews and the thing you hope for your friend will happen. And the damn publisher will hold the damn meeting next week and accept my book. So mote it be.

And mine. Ruth has New-Slain Knight on her desk.
Make it so! (Jean-Luc Picard reference)

Deb, I think writing the Kincaids has been prep work for leaving the shadows. You've processed things you might not have otherwise. Plus, research!

Gods, yes, at least on the processing part. Weirdly, I think the essay I did for the Seal press anthology - Truth, in the Middle - is the real step out of the shadows moment. I don't name names, and I don't need to, but it's all there, all the processing through writing the Kinkaids.
Speaking of which, back to work. I'm up near 81K, about three-quarters of a chapter plus an epilogue with a fairly high HSQ moment for JP, away from finishing Cleveland Rocks.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Okay, after a fierce, drawn-out battle I have lost the high ground and am not avoiding the obvious pun about leaving a new-slain knight lying about on someone's desk. Ew, leaky.
