One of the cool things about being a writer is that sometimes people send me books to read. :) Sometimes these are not published books, like Gail Dayton’s ETERNAL ROSE, and sometimes they are published books, like ‘s SEA OF SORROWS, which I could not find a copy of and which she proposed sending me as part of a hostage exchange: SEA for COYOTE. I call that a win. *beam* As soon as I’m done with revisions I’m plunking down and reading it and the last two books of her…

We met their new baby, ate a lot, had amusing discussions about the awful things women say and about crashing MMORPG servers, and generally had a very nice time.

I may punt to frozen fish & chips, rather than go spend money at the corner store. I have…
writing is hard.
Finished reading HoC for revisions. The good news is that everything is minor, except the one very large thing that I basically feared was a problem right from the beginning but couldn’t see how to fix and so hoped nobody else would notice it, more or less. For some reason, that never works. *squinchy face* Unfortunately, I still don’t know how to fix it. It’s a basic Second Book In A Trilogy problem.
