Like Christmas, Only Better

So. Two weeks off from work. Of course there were holidays in there, so it wasn’t all my time (I like holidays. For about an hour. Maybe two, if I get good presents. Which I did. I showed you my pen–you oughtta see my squid!) Anyway. Holidays can be fun, but they get in the […]

Have a Sampling

Editing is a very difficult practice. It’s like when you’re riding, and you put your horse to a jump they don’t want to do. That horse is going to try to veer off, and it takes a strong rider to convince a horse to go where she wants rather than where the horse wants. Muses,

Someone must buy, or they wouldn’t keep doing it, right? Idiots. Anyway. I plod onwards. I sent out three more queries. One already rejected, others

DOOMY Summer of Editing DOOM

Ahem. Yes, well… I have not fallen into a Pit of Nothing Accomplished as has happened before at the start of vacation. I’ve been working on Fidelis. I’ve been swimming nearly every day. I’ve been going to work. Yes, work. As in years past, I am not quite done when I am supposed to be
