kinzelThree hundred words on Sword of Orion ... before 11 am. Don't think I've ever had a book go quite like this. Have parts of the last chapter, intermittent scenes, still need to get rid of some T-names, know where somethings go but not how I get there. Chuton's a good name, right? It'd be real good to have a 2500 word day at the end of things.
In the last week, a couple requests from readers for more in the Tomorrow Log series. Thanks gang, just talk to the publisher. That'd be Meisha Merlin. Want more stuff in ebooks? Got to talk to Embiid. Waiting for that story set for Absolute Magnitude? ... check with the editor.
Took some doing, but by golly, there it is: Crystal Soldier ad on the front page of Locus. Sorry,(edit) that's locusmag.com. Coolness. Now if I can play this right we may end up with something for Machall. I got a cool start on that...
Besides getting some words in, I've packed 5 bags of redeemables to jam into the Blazer when it comes back from Augusta. Won't likely redeem them today, but they need to go someplace, else they'll overflow the closet. And besides, those nickels and dimes add up.
See that there Bush budget? Will it really destroy AMTRAK? Tell your congress-critters to put AMTRAK back-in, please, or we'll be limiting our con-going. Seriously. The range would work out to VA, WV,PA, CT, NY, MA, MD,NB, VT, NH... maybe eastern OH. Oh yeah, NJ and DE... that is if Delaware wants us. If things hit the fan too soon it could make getting to COSine a real problem. If the East Coast trains stay in the picture I guess we could also make it down to FL, GA, NC.
The administration wants to privatize everything? Cool -- make the airlines pay back all the transportation subsidies they get in the form of fedgov paying all that airline infrastructure stuff. Make the churches pay their taxes.
Buzzy Multimedia sent us a rough drawing of the neat promotional item they plan to work into pre-orders of Local Custom. I want one too! Anyhow, it is kind of neat, and it's their deal, so you'll have to wait until the designer gets done and the offer is online. They also sent a request for a photo for the CD package, which we sent on, and sent a copy of the Michael Shanks photo that will go on the package. We got a smaple to show us how Local Custom will be packed -- pretty convenient!
Rolanni is off on a grand-tour of the Central Maine environs, including making sure we've got milk and cheese in house since it looks like we could get two days of snow later in the week. Note to self -- but you can remind me! -- charge laptop. Let's see -- Check batteries and candles. Check dark chocolate. Bake a cake. You always want to bake a cake if it's going to snow... trick I learned from my mother.
Oh yeah, printed up 400 copies of the new newsletter; if the conversion works right I may post it as a PDF somewhere...
And time for a soda and some more words.
