Okay here’s how much of an editing/proofreading geek I am: I finally broke down and bought the latest Chicago Manual of Style yesterday (16th edition) and the latest Merriam-Webster (11th), and…. OH MY GOD HOW MUCH FUN THEY ARE!!! I keep reading things aloud to Mark, who looks on, bemused.* They’re sitting here on my […]

So, here’s a cool thing: I’m going to be editing for Per Aspera Press. I’ll be acquiring books and taking them through the publication process, under the tutelage and guidance of Brilliant Editor (AKA Jak Koke). Per Aspera, you might recall, is also the publisher of my Nightcraft series–but don’t worry, I won’t be editing
As I predicted yesterday: today was about Getting Things Done, and a Swim. That all happened! Plus, I had dinner with a delightful friend; plus, a new freelance job arrived all unexpectedly (I LOVE that, it’s like Christmas); plus, I washed my car. (Yeah, I know that should fall under the category of Getting Things
Good day today–busy!–got a lot done, though I’ve got lots more to do. My masseuse throws an annual April Fools party, which I hadn’t been to before–this year it was at Tony Starlight’s Supper Club, and I did go, and it was amazing! Hilarious, and everyone was super-talented. A joy, start to finish. It’s nice
Safe at home, after a busy-busy (and fun, and productive) weekend at Norwescon–saw a jillion people, none of them for long enough. But that’s how it goes. The weather has turned amazing–still tank top weather in Seattle, not a cloud anywhere, and even warmer here in Portland. I had a very nice drive home (no

I am safe in Seattle. The drive was….it’s better not to speak of the drive. I left too late, because I was disorganized. I know better. Oh well. But! The cherry blossoms, they are blossoming! We walked on campus after dinner and saw them in full force, though it was nearly dark. But we caught
So a few weeks ago, you might recall, a light bulb in the ceiling fixture in the dining room LITERALLY EXPLODED. With a loud boom. Shards of glass everywhere. It was a big mess. Okay, that was weird, I thought. So yesterday, the light bulb in the upstairs bathroom light LITERALLY EXPLODED. Fortunately, that light
I am ten pages into the collab short story; it is going very well, I’m having lots of fun with it. It’s a very refreshing change of tone and style from The Queen and The Tower, which is probably very good for me. 🙂 Palate cleansing, as it were. Though given my druthers, I’d have
