lagilman3,000+ new words today. Not bad for first day back on the pony. Tonight, more client-work.
Had a slightly surreal moment -- doing a search on something totally unrelated, and my name came up in a link to a book I had totally forgotten about. No, not one I wrote -- but one I created/edited. "Wish You Were Here" =-- a YA series published by Berkley back in 1996, the year I left to go to Roc/NAL.
How could I forget about those books? They were so much fun to work on... it's sad they didn't take off.
Many years ago, I had a resume that listed all the projects I edited, including the ones I created in-house. I really wish I still had that file... (it ran to three pages, single spaced, by 1996). SF and fantasy, mystery, YA, non-fiction, suspense...
It all seems so very very long ago. A different lifetime. But the memories, for the most part, are sweet.
EtA: om nom nom. A chunk of wild-caught sockeye salmon, pan-cooked with garlic, a splash of white wine, and a sprinkling herbs until the fish is pale orange and flaking to the fork. When healthy food tastes this good and is this easy to prepare, why would anyone eat junk/fast food? (the price really isn't that much different, all told)
