Aw, rats. I thought I had a good drabble going about an upside down card in a Rorschach test, and then I realized it was just an old joke resurfacing. It came from either Catch-22 or The Right Stuff (or maybe both), but I don't have either one handy to look it up.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

connie, I tried to send you some comments on that story a few days ago, but I got an "unable to deliver due to being unable to connect to destination mail server" error.
Huh. Want to try again? A couple of emails that should have come through from LJ didn't work. Or if you want to post them here and confuse everyone else, I don't mind.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Anne! Didn't you get my return email? I wrote one.
VERY good comments, and I agree with the need to colourise Marcus a bit. He gets much more interesting as the book goes along (or so I anticipate - he becomes the only other person hearing what RIngan's hearing, and is too freaked to say anything until he realises Ringan hears it too) but this was the first shot at writing him, and what you read was unedited.

It hasn't appeared, darn it. I'm glad the comments helped.

Definitely weird. My email box shows the little arrow thingie, indicating that I sent the reply, but I don't keep my "sent" mails for more than I do, so I can't check. But it was basically what I said above.
Oh, and one other thing: you had a "Ha! Wrong! Am I right?" note in there, about Ringan thinking there was never a house on the site. Do you really want the answer to that? It may not be what you think....

Already posted the Morning Show news - see Press.
But also? Just heard back from my agent. Jenn loves what I sent her of "Cruel Sister", thinks we can send it on to pitch Ruth.
I'm having a very very very good day.

Hmm. I think I'll wait to see how it plays out.
