Deb, I couldn't wait for tomorrow, so you have a quick and dirty--but thorough, I think--email now.
Mal: Cut it out. Job's not done until we're back on Serenity. Zoe: Sorry, sir. Didn't mean to enjoy the moment.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Deena, also, on Hibbert's reaction to Jane resembling the Mytens painting? That stays as is - there's a subtle little thing in there - the emphasis on how she's sitting there, bathed in sunlight, everything tranquil. He's only seen the painting twice in his life, and it wouldn't come to mind unless something - in this case, the mix of her stillness and his own mention of the painting -brought it to mid.

Bev, backsent, and Astarte, insent.
For some reason, my head just exloded. Thumpythumpythump. Right at the crown.
Ouchies. Dinner's cooking (chicken drums bubbling away in teriyaki and sweet chili sauce and red wine), and Nic's on his way, first to feed southcats and then here.
Stoopid headache.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
Backflung, Deb. Enjoy your dinner.

Ouchies. Too much going on under that red hair today, perhaps. But still--fun!
And...backflung.

And more, with the flingbackitude.
The red head is crinkling with too much stuff today. Luckily, it's been GOOD stuff.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Deb, I don't think I've told you just how excited I am for you. The cover looks wonderful, and I'm so jazzed that you have a series!!
Go, team Deb!!!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Deb - just catching up. Congratulations on your sales and that cover is just ELEGANT.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Aforementioned poem, now called "American Love Song," is up on the LJ. (ocvictor.)
Maybe I can keep back at it. In between the novel and the magazine and the real job and...
Why do I do this to myself again?

Because nature has not provided you with the "say no to writing" gene?
Thanks, all. Now to keep extremities crossed for profitable negotations between agent and publisher next week. What Jenn (agent) really wants is a three-book deal, which would mean full advance right now on "Famous Flower of Serving Men", a partial on "Matty Groves" (probably half, since the book is 2/3 done and Ruth knows I don't not finish), and a nominal "option reserve" amount for the as-yet-unstarted fourth book, "Cruel Sister".
That deal would be ideal, and would certainly add an extra kick to the Halloween F2F. Champers for all! Really, really good mimosas.
Also, I am vibing reallyreallyreally hard for Linda Marrow to read "Still Life With Devils" and remember just why she loved my writing voice so much, all those years ago. Because if she buys it, there's a damned good chance that "The Eden Tree" - my collaboration - would be a Random House/Ballantine buy, as well.
