various and Sundry are wearing wrist-warmers to type

[lagilman]

1. So, Curtis Brown (a literary agency) is starting up a writing school. I should note that this is the same agency that employed a lot of hungry young types (including my uncle, in his early publishing days) by charging a reading fee for submissions. All I can say is, read the fine print, and then read it again, and proceed with caution.

2. Charting various reactions to 1 inch of snow up and down the Eastern Seaboard:

VA/DC - Panic!

NY/NJ - Pretty!

MA/NH - Spring!


(and, for my FL peeps - SNOWPOCALYPSE!)


3. Because fakefrenchie complained, I present to you...


(1 human leaves, 2 cats enter)


4. For those of you who've been asking about it, I have been informed that my revision letter for Bonnie #3 (TRICKS OF THE TRADE) is en-route for Wednesday afternoon. So still on track for an end-of-2011 publication date.

5. And I leave you with the excerpt d'jour from Untitled Bonnie/PSI #4:

"A seven year old girl."

"Seven." It wasn't a question; an eight year old child would be safe from the Fey; I didn't know if Catholicism set the age of reason around then because the Fey stopped being interested in human children around then, implying that God had claimed them, or if the Fey stopped being interested because the child actually had developed a moral backbone, but it didn't matter which came first so long as you could keep your offspring safe until then.

Someone hadn't.

Well, unless you're transplanted fropm oh say, Michigan like me, and New Jersey like the hubby. Then it's 'Laugh at the fools panicking over so little snow.'

Or for those of us stuck on a plane for TWO hours waiting for deicing in NC. "This sucks." My plane did not arrive into Melbourne, FL until 2AM. I was not a happy camper Sunday night/Early monday morning.

And, yes, it is HORRIBLY cold here in Eastern Central FL, thank you very much. :)

The bronchitis I had been fighting all weekend didn't help either...

[lagilman]

Ugh. I'm fighting off a sore throat, NOT allowing it to get worse because I have PLANS this weekend, damnit.

*sends chicken soup and gingerbread cookies*

My part of VA didn't get any snow so no panic in this neck of the woods. (:

(And actually today it was mostly MD/DC. Yesterday was VA/DC but not my part of VA.)

[wolfsilveroak.livejournal.com]

Mine either. A few flurries blowing around, but nothing measurable.}:/

He's so beautiful! But I don't see the Duchess.

[lagilman]

She's the under-the-covers lump above the remote control (which usually Boomer sleeps on, being Such A Guy).

[lagilman]

I am amused/bemused to note the responses are heavy in favor of snow, 1 to cats, and none at all to the writing. This, children, is why writers drink.

And have cats.

When you post Kitty Spam, my reader instincts go out the window!

[equesgal.livejournal.com]

I think that cat needs more pillows.

Seven...I like the whole concept of a cut-off for the Fey...and it sparks something in my head...hmmmm

You forgot: "CT - what snow?"

(Not that we actually saw any to speak of.)

[lagilman]

It wasn't actually meant as a weather forecast, just a general comment on overall reactions...

and CT is either NY or MA, depending on which side of New Haven you're on.

That's okay. We had a tornado watch today. On freaking Mt. Hood.

Reason given was that the storm was on a straight-line track for the Mountain, and no one knew just when or where it would break up.

[joycemocha.livejournal.com]

And oh yes, the writing?

MOAR. Please.

(And the snow? Snow level dropped 500 feet every time the clouds lifted today. The last of the Thanksgiving-era snowbanks are almost gone. Looks to be fresh snow tomorrow morning.)

[jesskastar.livejournal.com]

Snow. Heh. MA transplant in GA. :)

Ok, I'll bite. This Bonnie thing, wanttoread.

I saw you at a panel at DragonCon this year, been intrigued by your concepts but done nothing yet other than LJ/Twitter stalking. :look Despite hubby working for B&N. :look
