Me!

surveys novel section friend is submitting to contest, my critique still not complete; another friend's novel chapters for writing group tomorrow, not even begun; still another writing group member's novel chapters, ditto.

I'd love to. On Thursday or Friday, perhaps?

See, Bev also likes fantasy, a lot. And she writes it, rather well.

(reminds self to finish notes on next four to six of Bev's chapters)

Thanks, Beverly. I'll send you out some pages tomorrow.

Really not a big rush to read them. I'm writing at a painfully sloooooow pace right now.

But, I am writing, at least today, which is an improvement.

Astarte, you can send them to me whenever you like, too.

See, Bev also likes fantasy, a lot.

And I get to read very little of it, despite the amount of reading I do.

And she writes it, rather well.

Blush. Thank you! And, I've forgotten what's the last you have. Can you, when you get to it, remind me?

But, I am writing, at least today, which is an improvement.

Oh, Ro, I hear you.

Thanks, Susan.

Bev, damn, you asked me in Bitchy (it's still Bitchy in my head; this is what I get for not hanging out in B'cy) and I answered there. Should we move it here?

Oh, and Deb--one of my coworkers today was asking me about my book, and I mentioned you in the context of talking about how I was getting ready to send it to an agent. She asked what you wrote, and I described the premise behind the Child Ballad books. She thought it sounded really exciting, so I'll be sure to remind her when Weaver comes out. So that's one more toward your 3000.

No need. I forgot to note the xpost. I'll pop over and read. Thanks!

Whoo-hoo! Thanks, Susan.

I occurs to me that for the first time, I may not have a chapter section of Matty to read at writers group, assuming I do it next week. With essentially five days unavailable to me for writing - Thursday is baking, errands, packing, Thursday night is Eddie Izzard, off to LA with no computer come Friday morning, not back until late Monday night - I likely won't get this section done. Also, there's a skosh more research I have to do on family crypts, and mausoleums.

Ah well. Maybe I'll read the first chunk of TET instead...
