I got up at 7:something, and by 8:20 I’d showered, cleaned the kitchen, fed the cats, and made a grocery list. By half eleven I’d made pancakes, gone shopping, and gotten started on the hellish site redesign that’s going to take days if not weeks of time. In between beating my head on the redesign wall, I entertained myself by making icons from ‘s Star Trek parody. There are SO MANY MORE I want to do, but this will do for a start. All text (excepting “adorkable”) thanks to Sarah…

all right. I give in.
Okay. I give in. I have joined Twitter. I am a twit. I … have no idea what to do with it, you understand, but I’m told it’s terribly important for networking, and I’m trying to build access to my reader base, so… Surprisingly, I’m ce_murphy there. (Well, I think it’s surprising. I didn’t expect to get that username.) At any rate, I most solemnly swear to *not* pipe my twitter feed into my LJ. Another rather lovely day in Dublin. I met up with Kate and we had lunch…
i’d say no more rants…
…but it wouldn’t be true. I will keep my rants to a minimum, though. Discussion on my earlier post prompted salient commentary elsewhere. Since I went off on a climate change shout-a-thon last week, it seems like I probably ought to link to this petition, encouraging the EPA to support carbon restrictions. It’s my somewhat bitter and cynical opinion that it’s not enough, but on the other hand, it’s better than nothing. So if you’re of a mind to at all, signing that would be, well, something. The Frozen Dublin…
Magical Words: who pays whom?
I’ve been doing what will, I imagine, turn into a four part series over on Magical Words, all prompted by a reader question “who pays whom?” Part one, discussing the editor/agent/author relationship and the differences between an editor and an editorial service, is here. Part two, discussing vanity presses, is here. I expect I’ll be talking about POD and ebooks over the next two weeks, and I’ll link to those later, maybe. For the moment, though, I thought I’d bring up what turned into a very long comment from the…
birthday bash interview
Reviewer Drey’s Library is having a blog birthday party all month, and has interviewed me as one of the, er, celebratory things. :) Anyway, you can win a copy of URBAN SHAMAN there, but even if you don’t need to you should go read the blog ’cause it’s nifty. :) There’s a lawn maintenance company here in Longford called Lawn’n’Order. To my great surprise, Lawn’n’Order came and parked in front of my house today, then went into my back yard, which was a disaster, and much weed whacking ensued. Now…
