Well, that was far more excitement than one wants at 6:20am on a Monday morning. We were getting Young Indiana’s bath ready, which involves running the water until it’s hot, then turning it off again because it gets so hot that you can’t put the plug in the tub. Young Indiana turned it off, but he turned it the wrong way (and I was using the toilet, so not standing over him to supervise) and the handle came off the faucet, causing scalding water to spurt up through the now-open…

five things make a post
I have finished the major revisions to SHAMAN RISES and sent that chunk of the book off to my editor for approval while I polish up the edges of what’s left. My brain is fried. I have, tragically, run out of chocolate chips and Kraft mac&cheese. It should be noted that this is not related to the previous paragraph. I got hit with several spam messages in a row from a fake listserv. Now all the idiots on the ‘list’ are doing a reply-all and demanding to be removed from…
I think we’ve actually gained slightly on Swan River Press! Admittedly, we still have over 600 votes to catch up, but if we catch up by Friday evening, I’ll post the first chapter of SHAMAN RISES! :) Vote here!

Ted and I (mostly Ted) put up the new shelves in the utility room last night. They’re just about exactly…

You guys have got my back. I was kind of too busy with other stuff to really plug the #LastDays project yesterday, but we still got nearly 100 votes. Aiming for 1800 today! Go go go go go! Vote for the Last Days project! A couple of friends have gotten good news recently, none of which is mine to share, but boy am I pleased for them. Seems to make everything a little better, especially since they (like so many right now) have been scrambling, and their good news will…

We got another 100 votes on Last Days yesterday, although somehow it’s still not back on the trending projects page! But if we make it to at least 1570 votes today, I will send a book to somebody who reports their number in to me today, just for fun. (And also because I have an overstuffed bookcase full of my own books, sigh, but let’s pretend it’s all just for fun. :)) The Last Days project. :) I’ve taken, the past several nights, to going to bed by 9:30. It’s…
