various and Sundry are wearing wrist-warmers to type

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... ( cat being cat. )

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.
