This morning, while reading an article about Tina Fey’s wildly successful Sarah Palin impersonations, I came upon the line “It’s the court jester’s job to make fun of the king.” This, *obviously*, triggered “You can have no idea how happy I was you had come to make music for me again,” and now, god damn it, I cannot re-read that book until I have done today’s work, and I am sullen and sulking about this. On the other hand, I know what I’ll be doing with my evening. :) Yesterday’s…

“You’ve got an Oirish face.”
I swam this morning. Now I’m all perky. That’s so annoying. :) Yer man the kids’ team coach asked me what club I’d swum with, because anybody who did “tomble tarns” (ie, flipturns) was probably a club swimmer. I said I’d swum in Alaska, where I was from, and he said, “Alaska? But yer parents are Oirish. Ye’ve got an Oirish face.” :) Okay, my plans today are mostly South Carolina Writers’ Workshop stuff. I need to: – work up a handout for the “developing your writer’s voice” class –…
“Take A Chance” teasers!
Some of you will have seen these before. Some of you will not have. Either way, I gotta say, when I opened up the files to make images of proper size, I was astonished all over again at how pretty some of these pages are, and how happy I am with the quality of the art and coloring. I have got an amazing team with Ardian Syaf and Jason Embury, and consider myself incredibly lucky to have found such a talented couple of guys to work with.
*sigh*
Not off to an auspicious start this morning. Ted told me at 7:15 that it was time to get up, and I heard him, but apparently my brain was pretty much full on in dream mode, because I didn’t so much go back to sleep as just continue *to* sleep, in a dream which involved working on revisions at a cafe where I had apparently forgotten to pay for the pizza I’d had a few days earlier, which the women behind the counter tried to tell me, except one of…
TPC revisions: done
I turned the PRETENDER’S CROWN revisions in about 90 minutes ago. The manuscript came in at 684 pages, which means…/bigferret came in closest with a guess of 671 pages. If you want to email me your snailmail address, sometime in April (hopefully) I’ll send you a copy of the book. :) I’m taking tomorrow off, because I just cannot face going into another set of revisions immediately. I think I’ll go swimming and maybe read a book or something. I’m a party animal. :)
