The Chance submission should arrive at Image today. It’s made it to Berkeley, anyway. They (They) say, generally, that if your submission sucks or is brilliant, you’ll hear back almost immediately, and that if it’s in between, who knows; a couple months, maybe, assuming nothing gets lost. I know it doesn’t suck. O.O *runs around and around and around and EEEEEEEEEEEE*! Everybody wish it luck, please! EEEEEEEE!

all about jay lake
says some damned meaningful things about discipline. And, speaking of Jay, the Neighbor Auctionlet is going on at ebay right now, so check it out and see if there’s anything you might like to bid on!

sheesh
It is a great deal easier to write if I’m not at home when I’m doing it, I think.

It’s not entirely done, actually, but all the stuff going back to the States is bought. I’ll get wrapping paper tomorrow and maybe I’ll get packages in the mail on Thursday. That’d be best; the post office is always nuts on Friday. On the train there and back again, I wrote 5200 words. miles to…
a point of contention
DearAuthor.com has brought up the much-overstated demise of the Luna line (among several other things) in a recent post. I’ve been running into this once or twice a month in blog postings and on email loops. It’s insanely frustrating, for a lot of reasons.
