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.
