I don’t know how I can be so busy. It doesn’t seem like I should be, and yet. Mom came over yesterday to sit on Young Indiana for a couple hours while I worked. As a result, I’ve finished the synopsis for RAVEN CALLS, book seven of the Walker Papers, and today I’ll be doing the synopses for the last two books. I’ve been working on this series since Y2K.

And Tamora Pierce, too, she’s another one I noticed in the past few days. *mutter* My damned netbook needs a new power supply–the dongle that fits into the computer got damaged while we were moving–and I went into…
