Now, where was I?

[rolanni]

So, the Anne McCaffrey essay commissioned by BenBella has been written and delivered; I've signed all the tip-in pages for the autographed edition of  Necessity's Child;  the short story commissioned for Baen's website has been written and delivered; today I finished reading the galleys for Necessity's Child, and have emailed my correx to the appropriate folken.

Y'all know what that means, don't you?

Right!

Now, I get to put on a new head  read the first 70,000-ish words of Carousel Sun, and get with writing the rest.  I have a soft deadline of December 31.  The manuscript is actually due at Baen on February 15, 2013.  I'm figuring that means writing about 1,000 words a day, minimum, which isn't so bad.

This also assumes that nothing else requiring me to think outside of Archers Beach occurs from now until the end of the year.

...yeah, that's gonna happen.

Everybody having a good holiday?

BenBella is putting out a non-fiction collection of tributes to Anne and to Pern. It will contain 18-20 short (between 3,000-4,000 words each) essays. The list of essay authors was provided to BenBella by Todd, who is editing.

. . .and that's all I know. Basically, we wrote our essay for Todd -- and for Anne.

I'll be pleased to post a list of authors/table of contents, when and if I see one.

Edited to add: Link to book on the BenBella website (http://www.smartpopbooks.com/book/dragonwriter)
