In which we have news
Monday, May 18th, 2009 07:00 pmFor those who have been waiting for the electronic release(s) of The Tomorrow Log and Dragon Tide, we have today learned that they will be bundled with the eArc of Fledgling which is due to hit Webscriptions, err, realsoonnow. Watch the skies.
We also learn that the (paper) ARCs and the galleys for Fledgling have landed, dern near simultaneously. ARCs should be going out to reviewers starting tomorrow, and the galleys will be coming right here to the Confusion Factory.
For those writers who read here -- how do you manage to read galleys while working on a writing project? Read 50 pages of galleys and then write for an hour? I read realllly slow (yeah, not a Writer Survival Skill), and I was kinda counting on the long weekend for some serious Mouse and Dragon action. Normally, in this kind of time-crunch, the galleys would fall to Steve, but! Steve's going to be gone for seven days, so -- it's my lap or nobody's.
In other news, music CDs have been burned, so Steve can have Noise on his drive down south. At the day-job, the professors are jumping ship as fast as they can leap, leaving me with a refrigerator that needs to be defrosted and cleaned, scheduling computer pickups, getting keys cut, and Other Thankless Tasks(TM). Which! Is why I get the big bucks.
Mozart is asleep in his rocker. Scrabble is on Steve's lap, chewing on his buttons. Hexapuma is declaiming in the hallway. Truly, we are Blessed.
Frost warning tonight. Yep. And a call for 81F on Thursday. Is this a great state or what?
