We’re in the Atlanta airport until about 8:45 tonight. The Atlanta airport has currently won a place in my heart by allowing us to go from one terminal to another without having to go through security again. Also for having places to plug in laptops, and for having wifi, though it would be for the total win if it were free wifi. Still, you take what you can get. I paused to look longingly over noise-reducing ear bud earphones, which cost quite a bit. So did the over-the-ears ones I’ve…
comics and friendships and fans, oh my!
I’m in a state of beatific exhaustion. Actually, I’m not even exhausted, but my eyes are killing me (I don’t know why, maybe because there was deep-fried halibut and the deep-frying released something into the air that’s making my eyes sting, but no matter why, ow).

And I went away feeling like I should do some writing! Yay! Plus, I’ve gotten 1682 words done today, making today the first actual day I’ve reached NNWM writing goals. Yay again! :) I’m…
Ted is best.
I had a little book-related meltdown last night, resulting in Ted actually reading the HoF manuscript up to about page 290. The last book Ted read in manuscript form was HEART OF STONE, five years ago, after which he decided he didn’t like doing that because the books changed too much in detail from manuscript to publication, so this is a fairly major event. Usually when he helps me with plot stuff he just works from what I’ve told him, but this time he thought he needed to actually see…
