Writer's day on...

[rolanni]

Business first: Preorders for the The Fey Duology stand at! Amazon 204; Apple 30; Kobo 16 (BN, from which the title has been delisted, 8).

I have today read Steve's narrative and notes for Trade Lanes, and started making notes of my own. Which I guess means that, indeed, Trade Lanes will be the next Liaden book.

It was a very calm and fulfilling day, just sitting with my art and letting the ideas bubble and flow. This is how writers are seduced into writing the next book, even writers who have written many books and really ought to know better.

I am more or less packed for my vacation. Overpacked, of course. I always overpack, and I'm just going to have to live with that reality. People who arrive for a week -- 10 days! -- away with a single duffle bag -- amaze me.

Tomorrow, I have a few last-minute things to do -- change out the cat fountains, make sure I'm current with passwords and such on the laptop, and have another Talk With the Cats about how Deb will be taking care of them and the house. I've told them this three times already, but they don't believe me; you can just tell they don't.

Everybody have a good evening. Stay safe. I'll check in tomorrow.

Well, look. I am behind in announcing that! My pleasant chat with Sean Hazlett was broken into two parts for the Baen Free Radio Hour. I had no idea I'd talked so much.

Part One aired last week, and Part Two has just appeared.
