1. Set up auction for red-leather book
2. Eat breakfast. Do not drink more than four cups of coffee. um. oops?
3. Salute the cats
4. Clean cat boxes
5. Set bread to risebake
6. Proofread Ghost Ship (read today's 100 pages; read 100 pages tomorrow and the thing's done.
7. Laundry
8. Eat lunch
9. Supper, too
10. Go to bed before 2 a.m. No. Really. I'm going! I'm going!

For those playing along at home -- Steve has achieved Baltimore, and has seen his mom. Various family stuff proceedeth.

Regarding the Ghost Ship galleys, yesterday in the course of my proofreading, I came across two things added in by the editor*. One of them, to my embarrassment, I thought I had fixed myself in revision, but apparently not. Sigh. This is why we have editors, and why the idea of Renouncing Traditional Publishing and Showing Them All!, while occasionally attractive, is maybe really not the road everyone ought to take. Especially if you are -- as most writers of course are not! -- just a little prone to wearing your nerves on your sleeve.

Now, having said the above -- I have an Idea. It would be more of an Idea if the perfessers would leave over dinning in my ears so I could have five minutes to think, but -- summer's coming. And not a minute too soon.

Anyhow, just, yanno, casually asking -- would you be interested in a web serial detailing the various doings of the courier ship Ride the Luck? I'm envisioning a series of interlocked short stories. Would you be willing to subscribe to such an endeavor, knowing that there would be no reward beyond the Warm Fuzzies?

And now! The laundry calls.

Just adding to the massive chorus of "MOAR STORIES PLZ" -- a webscription of Ride the Luck would be delightfully entertaining. Cheers!

Well, yes!

I read a couple of serial projects. I tend not to toss in money every month, but every few months. Not sure what your system is like. But I'm very interested.

"Ride the Luck"

Begging on my knees (just kidding, couldn't get back up if I did)

I gave up on PayPal years ago and just charge to a "private" debit card set up for stuff like this and buying books.

OBTW
Many thanks for the e-formatted chapbooks. Since Nook came out "she who SHOULD be obeyed" won't let me buy "dead tree copies if e-copies are forthcoming. Loved the ARC of "Ghost Ship" BTW

Yes, please. This would fill in more backstory for the "current" story arc and I would like to read more of Aelliana's life. And further development of Jen Sar Kiladi by Daav before he went e'elekti to Balance her death and joined the University as Gallowglass Chair.
