Coding and Sleeping

Happy moving, shrift!

Well, I decided recently I'm going to self-publish my middle-grade book 'Cog'. This is my one sentence description:

When thirteen-year old Cog stowed away on an airship, she never imagined she’d sneak her way into an apprenticeship with the Queen’s master engineer, but now she needs to foil a plot to assassinate the Queen and keep her identity secret with nothing more than her wits and a set of precision screwdrivers.

Anyhow, an agent sent it around to the big publishers but it didn't get sold even though the editors had some pretty nice things to say about it. I thought about submitting to small publishers, but I didn't feel like there was enough value for me in exchange for having less control. I kinda have to keep telling my that it's been well received by almost everyone (including people in the biz) to do this.

Right now I'm figuring it'll release in early 2016. There's a lot to do to get ready.

I hope SFO welcomes you better, shrift!

Argh, I forgot to bring in my coffee. I could go home and get it, which seems silly, I could jump right to drinking tea, or I could have a cup of full-caffeinated, maybe watered down. How am I supposed to decide without coffee?!?!

Very exciting, Gud!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Not just visiting!

I knew that, but I forgot! Hanging onto the pregnancy brain excuse for one more day.

Only one more day? When are you due?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Exciting, Gudanov! The book sounds interesting, may it do well!

My due date is technically the 17th, but I'm having a c-section tomorrow morning!

That's great, Gud! Best of luck with it.

Oh, wow! Much ~ma that everything goes smoothly and easily.

Tomorrow is my half-birthday, and since I always seemed to have whatever bug was going around on my actual birthday, I often actually celebrated my half-birthday as a kid. A good day for parties. For future reference, not for tomorrow

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Much ~ma, sj!
