five things for a lunch break

[lagilman]

First, a major *omg ouch hug* to my HarperCollins friends. May the reaper pass lightly over your departments....

Second: forget about the damned groundhog: just ask Boomer. The meatloaf came over, sat down on my lap, got up, and left behind an entire kitten-worth of fur on my jeans and sweater. Winter's over!

Third: The difference between Bonnie and Wren is that Bonnie not only knows what tête-à-tête means, she uses it properly in a sentence. And can spell it right the first time, which makes her unlike her author (I keep getting the accent hashes confused).

Fourth: The vamp results have come back and my TSH levels have once again gone into the "uh-oh" range. As expected, and it certainly 'Splains A Lot about my recent lack of focus/concentration. Hopefully, better living through chemistry will kick in soon. *kicks thyroid*

Fifth: There will be a galley slaves mailing soon. Stand by and prepare to row!

EtA: And a sixth thing being a major woot! to Mary Robinette Kowal, who just did a two-book deal with Tor for Shades of Milk and Honey (described as "Jane Austin with magic") and a sequel! Best Agent Evah Jenn Jackson gets another notch in her bandolier. *grin*

I have not been a Productive Writer this morning. That will change in the next hour or so, damn it.

Ugh. As much as I like the idea of self publishing in theory, I don't want to live a world where its the only option because all the Publishing houses have closed. Scary stuff.

That said, excited to see the galleys when they come in! I'd even hold my breath if I thought that would help.
