I got the most astoundingly cool email last night: I just found your name from the Romantic SF website as a forthcoming author, and I thought you (or at least the title of your book) sounded familiar. When I was working at (publishing house name removed to protect the innocent, or something) (as an editorial intern) last year, I was going through the slush pile and I read a few chapters of a book with a main character named Joanne Walkingstick(?) who was a shaman, and there was a Celtic…
jeez
Didn’t get up this morning (went to bed too late last night. Curse Alias! Curse it!), but I’m starting to know how I’m going to do rewrites, so that’s good. Got an RWA meeting tonight at which I’m giving an HTML class. I haven’t done this in soooooooo long. I think it’ll be fun, though!

all sorts of things
Yesterday involved all sorts of things. I actually went on a bike ride! A little one, just 5 miles, but I’m reaaaaaaallllllly trying not to overdo it, so a little ride was good.

I had Jennifer Garner dreams last night. (Ted said,”Jeez. I had post apocalyptic alien invasion dreams.”) And oh, Hot Licks opened! A couple of weeks ago, apparently!…
Silkie rocks.
Silkie managed to do what I have not been able to do for months and months: she found IVD Select Care HiFactor cat food online. Apparently by the time-honored method of going to Google and typing in IVD Select Care, which I swear to God has not worked for me. Although I suspect I’ve been more specific, or something, and that’s what’s been kicking my ass. Anyway, there are now two VERY GODDAMNED EXPENSIVE bags of cat food on the way to Alaska, and when I break open the second…
