Home Sick

Fluish, or something. Significantly better than yesterday, when I threw in the towel early at work, came home, slept for four hours, ate dinner and went to bed.

It would be nice if I could sit comfortably, but my back muscles can't find a chair they want to talk to for more than five minutes at a time. It would also be nice if I could, I dunno, read. I need to re-read Local Custom, then Scout's Progress so I can get the sequel -- working title Mouse and Dragon -- started while Steve does the revisions on Saltation.

Having the brain of a potato means that I'm doing a lot of aimless wandering around the house, doubtless making Steve crazy as he tries to do Actual Work.

Do an Author a Favor: If you happen to have a copy of the ebooks for Custom and Scout, could you copy the chapter headers into a consecutive file for me? I used to have them, but have them no longer, and I'd really rather not have to rekey them...

Back to the kitchen, me, to stare aimlessly out at the chickadees.

Home sick

Hope you feel better but YEA for working titles.

Re-reading Local Custom and Scout's Progress is not reading. It's WORK. And you are sick and are allowed to take time off to be sick.

Hope you feel better really soon, though.

You mean the italic mock quotations like

Each person shall provide his clan of origin with a child of his blood, who will be raised by the clan and belong to the clan, despite whatever may later occur to place the parent beyond the clan's authority. And this shall be Law for every person of every clan.

—From the Charter of the Council of Clans
Made in the Sixth Year After Planetfall
City of Solcintra, Liad


If that's what you want I'll create and email it to you shortly

Sorry to hear you're sick. Love the working title, though.

Feel better soon!! I know how hard it is to push fluids when you are wandering aimlessly but do try!

I adore the working title!! AS usual I can't wait for moremoremore!

Getting-well vibes sent.

Out of interest, how often does a working title actually become the real one? (General question to any authors on the list...)

Mouse and Dragon is a wonderful title, IMHO...

Feel better soon!

My best wishes for your recovery.
