You were one inch past specifications?

Paperwork and Crazy People.

Thankfully I have a contractor worth his weight in NYC-experienced rubies, and an engineer on-call *waves at 0eris0*

This is why, although I set very few rules on our home search, one of them, and one of two set in stone was 'NO HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION'.

They make fandom look functional.

*laugh* Yeah, and if I were anywhere but NYC I'd be right there with ya. But, lacking a handful of millions to buy my own townhouse....


(oh, but it's a lovely dream. I even know the street. Mayhaps even the building. And I'd turn the first floor over to a joint workspace for local writers to come and have a communal space....

All I need is 3.5 mil. Think I should set up a paypal button?)

Goes back to Vineart War hitting the NYT Bestseller list.. Then you can trade the movie rights for the condo :)

Today I had a conversation that went like this:

Her: "Isn't LAG that author you like?"
Me: "Yes! ...Why?"
Her: "Her most recent manuscript is sitting on my desk!"
Me: askjfljd??
Her: "Yeah, apparently they want [an author her agency represents] to blurb it. I can't sneak it out to you, but I thought I'd taunt you with it momentarily."


Then I was sad. But kind of hilarified.

[lagilman]

*snicker* Oh, that's cruel. Funny, but cruel.

hrmm.... *counts off authors who might be blurbing it who didn't get the manuscript already, directly....*

So much mean! Also, turns out, even though I am an exceptionally fast reader, even I can't "accidentally" drop by her office for lunch and read your book. Sadface.

I don't know that it's a sekrit, but just in case it is, I'll change the subject and show you the blog of an author. Whom I happen to, completely unrelatedly, like. For no other reason, at all. http://www.patrickrothfuss.com/blog/blog.html :)
