Aaaaand! Tomorrow's Tuesday

[rolanni]

Most of the writing work today involved staring blankly out the window, thinking Thinks. I did get one small-but-necessary scene written, but the next bit is where I really want to be able to switch mediums, so we can have us a full-bore movie montage. I tend to get stuck in the itsy bits of stuff, so the need to take Giant Steps unnerves me. I'll probably sit around with the pad and pen and Glare Balefully at Nothing for another hour to see if I can work out the moves. After that, tomorrow being, as above, a Work Day (Where the Project will be...drumroll...defrosting the refrigerator. Ghod, I love my day-job.), I'll throw in the towel, maybe watch "Carousel" or maybe not, and hit the sack at a reasonable hour, hoping for sleep.

I note that there is Yet Another Misguided Bookseller on Amazon who thinks that he, she, or it can sell you a Brand! New! Copy! of Fledgling for One Hundred Fifty-Two Clams. He/she/it cannot do this. Do not be fooled. The Very Best that he/she/it may be able to do is sell you an ARC, which Amazon.com policy used to forbid, until the Actual Book was released. I wrote to them on Saturday, asking that the "erroneous" (sigh) listing be removed, but haven't heard back yet. Doubtless, they're closed for the holiday weekend.

It has turned up very windy here this afternoon, and, just to prove that we still live in Maine, there is a Frost Advisory posted for early tomorrow morning. Beats 93F, is all I'm saying.

Steve is, as Scrabble just came in to point out, still at Balticon, where I believe he expects to attend the Dead Dog Party, leaving for Points North at some early, but not Stupidly Early, hour in the morning.

I looked at the posting of the first chapters of fledgling for the e book. Such fun. It has been such a privilege to have that little window you provided unto the writing process, and now to see the final polish. Thank you.
I'm looking forward (jumping up and down impatiently) tot he Sept release date.
