Betsy, I love you.
Can't you ever get your mind out of the hellmouth?

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
What Betsy said, bigtime.
Sassy, Seattle is first week of January: I have a confirmed event (Q&A, reading, signing, prezzies for questions) scheduled for 7 January. I'm hoping to get up there a few days earlier (say, the previous weekend) and we're trying to arrange a signing at Third Place Books.
edit: Hil, I'll take it on trust, most likely.

Thanks Deb. I'm excited to go! I plan on buying your book for a Christmas present for at least one friend, so maybe she'll want to go, too.

Sassy, it ought to be fun. A nice lively evening.
I'm doing something unusual for me tonight: I'm reading ionstead of writing. I'm up to page 167 (in manuscript format) of the second book in this series, and it's definitely my favourite of the bunch. I hadn't looked at it since the final beta pass I got before sending it off to Ruth, back in March or thereabouts.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
my favourite of the bunch.
Mine too. There's a sweetness about Weaver, and a power about Matty, but Agnes rings some chimes in me that the others just don't do.
Thanks, Deena. I was admiring the economy and grace of yours. I'd like to take down one copy of my review--I put up a duplicate thinking I'd done something wrong and it hadn't posted. Novice mistake. But hey, if it counts as another review for Weaver, I'm leaving it.
How much do I want that Broomfield Hill tour shirt? A lot, that's how much.

Okay, I'm rockin' and rollin'. After catching up in here I went and got busy -- deleted about a thousand words I hated, but... BUT... I've got 5100 words on my Nannynannybooboo. Woo Hoo.
I feel much better. Thanks for all the slug away encouragement, guys. I've got the words, "shitty first draft" running over and over in my head.
Beverly, grace? huh, and I was thinking, goodness, I sound like a schoolgirl next to your review. Funny.

Deena, the thousand words still count. (If it's whole pages, I toss them in an Outtakes File, in case there's some reason, like I want to reexamine the idea that inspired the digression, to revisit.)

Who? moi??
One of my proctors has said she will buy your book. Wants it autographed. Told her no prob.

Sounds good to me (NaNoWriMo counts and signed book).
