I can try, though somebody else just passed on my book, so I'm not so sure that anyone wants to read anything of mine, ever. I'm not sure they ever have.(That urge that people had to put things in with the manuscript to see if they get disrupted? Makes even more sense in the age of the e-mail form letter, although I don't know how someone would do that, but I don't even feel like anyone looks at all the painstaking...homework they make me compile. But they all wish me good luck with lots of exclamations, which totally mitigates the sense that my creative work is about to join my actual life as The Southwest's greatest dead end, so, yay for that!

I actually just finished writing a chapter! I decided to put everything else aside tonight and treat myself to a little writing.

Yes, you should do that more often!

Thanks Sparky - (hello friends, I should put this in the delurking thread. Sigh) - so many b.org hands in this new book. Thanks to Consuela and Kat, Javachik and Raq especially, with more to come.

It looks like the narrator for my audiobook might be able to start recording again after having to take a year break for medical issues. It might actually happen at some point.

Need some thoughts about how to give a sense of time passing in a short story where you have limited pages to work with. Because I paid "Masters' Review" for extra feedback(So far, I think the notes are helpful, in that this editor does seem to get what I'm after with the story, but he did say "This wouldn't happen in one afternoon."

I put some fiction up on my blog.http://bohemiancrip.blogspot.com/2019/01/a-taste-of-twist.html
