erastesWoo Hoo! Another Brownie Point for www.writely.com!
You can post to Livejournal on it! Yay! Yes, I know I can do that via email too, but the formatting is impossible to cope with.
Nothing much new with me, RL proving icky, mother has pleurisy, so I have to take her for an x-ray in the morning.
Standish: I heard from the publishers and we are on the downward slope now - the outside editors have now been dispensed with and final decisions will be made by the publisher (in conjunction with me, I hope, don't want her unilaterally to decide that Ambrose must STRIDE about Scratching Himself and roaring at his sisters - I'm guessing that's not allowed....?)
Also got to invent the dedication page, acknowledgements, back cover blurb and a Bio (death to all Bios) which is all very exciting. They say "there's a lot to do, but it will move quickly from now on"
So I still don't know how long it will be, but I'm hoping publication before Christmas! Yay! Buy a copy for your granny for her stocking, you know it'll do her good! I have work colleagues who want to buy it. This Worries Me. a LOT. *checks contract* does "Bringing the firm into disrepute" consist of a sacking offence? Hmmm. Yes. it appears it does. eek!
I'm sure there's more stuff to relate but as my brain feels like porridge right now, I can't think of a single thing to relate.

Goddamnit, those two chapters I have are eating away at my brain. I want to read the rest of it. Like, now.

Date: 2006-09-26 06:13 pm (UTC)"La, Ambrose, was that you?"
"I deny it! It is said that he who smelled it, dealt it."
"You are unfair, brother, for it is not somthing that ladies do, it is a base, manly habit"
"Well then," drawled Rafe, letting fly, "how could you imagine that Poncy boy could be capable of it?"

Date: 2006-09-26 04:43 pm (UTC)I always try to be a little quirky there, and mix informaion, self-pimping and a quirky fact about me. Some is puer fiction (I'm not a goth, but needed a gothy-sounding bio for a goth publication that published my poem (wich wasn't very good, but goths like suffering, I guess). It was hilarious ...

Date: 2006-09-26 06:28 pm (UTC)I understand about your colleagues. I'm worried about what some of the more prudish people around me will think of Thaw - it's not horribly explicit, but it does have sex in it.

Thanks hun.
And yes, sex - frantic shaggage in a pup tent! Oh no, that's wrong.... there's sex in chilly weather - can't wait to read again.

Date: 2006-09-26 07:18 pm (UTC)There's sort of frantic non-sodomy in a pup tent, so you're not totally wrong. You'll have your copy as soon as I get it - I'm hoping it will get to you before your birthday, mail gods willing.
And now I want to watch BBM again. I think I'll go buy it today, as I have to go out and get a new toilet seat anyway. (Obviously not at the same store!)
