We’re verging on finally releasing “Easy Pickings” into the wild! All we have to do is, um, learn how to upload it to Amazon and other places. Which actually I have zero idea of how to do. It can’t be that hard, can it? (…although it may be less intuitive than I think it should be. Um.) Right. Anyway! We’re planning to release it on the 15th, and in the meantime, here’s the cover!
totally inadequate fudge
I’d been having a hard time finding the chocolate I typically use here to make fudge with, so I got some at a different store and made fudge today.

thinks that aren’t writing
Today is a day of work that isn’t writing (despite yesterday’s reminder-to-self that getting up early to work, well, works). This is not really a good time to take a day off writing, but since I can’t figure out how to clone myself, it’ll have to do. thinks that aren’t writing but need doink – mail the first set of calendars – magical words post – last ORSSP story – catch up on answering emails – final edits on “Easy Pickings” – bonus feature: take a shower It’s a sad…
