We are in rather desperate need of a new computer chair. This has been true for a while, but a couple weeks ago one of the wheels fell off, and somehow today it’s worse than it has been and I seem to be canting to a significant left angle now. (I mean, I’ve always leaned left, but this is different, you know? :)) We also need a new computer desk, as ours is slowly losing parts. And while I’m making a list of things we need, a new diaper pail…
kickstarter tick!
The Kickstarter campaign just ticked over $7300. I’m holding my breath to see if by some mad chance it reaches $8K by 1 week in, although that doesn’t seem enormously likely. However, if it does, I’ll do something else fun–maybe run a Q&A where people* submit questions to be answered in-character by the character of their choice. (No spoiler answers will be given, but up through SPIRIT DANCES is fair game!) I was looking at the Rollover Rewards, and I’m seeing a kind of a long dark teatime of the…
media move & chd
Today was Housecleaning Day. We got a fair amount done. Not enough, but one of the things achieved was the Culling of Books.

I kept scanning barcodes and bemoaning my youth, when I had so often wished for just such a…
back in the world of the working writer…
– REDEEMER revisions to agently satisfaction – my bit on “Easy Pickings” (5-7Kish) – propose DRTB anthology idea – prepare for theoretically incoming CEs on RAVEN CALLS – “Don’t Wreck Your Soul” – revise ANGLES to agently commentary – TWO Gary short stories! (3-5K each!) – one extra bonus Walker Papers short story (3-5K) – Nanowrimo – 3 retold fairy tales (12Kish) – maaaaaaaaaaybe some more Old Races stories (30Kish)
Wow.
Wow. Kickstarter says that 70% of projects that are 30% funded in the first 48 hours will succeed. “No Dominion” currently stands at just shy of 150% funded after 48 hours. Presumably if we extrapolate from this, there’s a fair chance of reaching the astounding $12K mark which would get a limited edition trade paperback for the Kickstarter backers. That would be very cool, and I’m very interested to see how it goes. :) At the moment, backers have commissioned the following: – “No Dominion”, a novella about Gary Muldoon,…
