Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

I would do David McCallum in Macy's window on White Flower Sale day.

Twice.

Gawd, he's been a hot flash of mine for nearly forty years...

Deb-

Sorry about the beta feedback delay. Personal life stuff has come up over the last couple of days...I will get to it soon. Promise.

Kristin, love, there is no rush in the world on this. I've only just started the book, it isn't going anywhere yet; this isn't deadline stuff, like "Gravekeeper". As long as you need. Truly.

Thank you so much for your understanding. I've felt like such a slacker lately with my friends' writing, but I still have to plough through 25 sets of rough draft creative writing from my students today on top of writing a test for tomorrow, writing an email back to a parent, beginning this grad school application work, cleaning and doing laundry, and packing for the weekend trip to upstate NY to visit the in-laws...

Yeah. I'm swamped. I appreciate you being so cool about it. Believe me, I'd rather be reading your work!

What, you think I don't get the real-world? I'm still hoping against hope that whatever has taken over my throat will let go in time for me to do a full reading, signing and Q&A session Sunday.

Plus, 15 people for Thanksgiving. This will involve moving things, and shampooing carpets.

Plus, beta-editing for a couple of people.

I get real-world. Trust me, I really do.

Deb, I didn't volunteer to beta because a cold eats all my brain cells, but I'd like to if you can wait until I have a measurable IQ again. Otherwise, keep me in mind for the next round.

Susan, received.

Ginger, I'm hoping I may be able to get some more work done tomorrow, if this whatever-it-is lets go of my immune system for two minutes. And as I told Kristin, there's no rush; this is the new novel, so there's no deadline.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Don't suppose anyone's up late who would be willing to do an emergency last-minute edit for me? I have a 250-word project description for a foundation grant application due tomorrow. I've finished it, and am happy, but would love some Buffista eyeballs.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Oh, well. I'll friends it in my lj, just in case anyone gets up early.
