Um. Monday, I believe. Cloudy and cold.
It was a challenge getting out of bed this morning, but I managed the thing by a little after seven, rustled up some oatmeal with sour cherry jam, and am now waiting on the kettle so I can have my second cup of tea before I go to gym, ref “cold” above. Not that I expect it to get that much warmer, but it will give the ice melt time to work on the steps, and me, time to get a little more awake.
Today will be all about catching up on the things I didn’t do this weekend, in favor of turning the copy edits around at faster-than-light speeds. And a nap. A nap sounds really good. But not before gym.
For those who worry about such things, in which set I include myself, the plowguy did come yesterday, around 6:00, I guess. The fact that it now gets dark in the middle of the afternoon makes it seem like everything is happening at midnight.
What else? Ah! Actual News of Note! To wit:
1. Ebook preorders of Sea Wrack and Changewind now stand at! Amazon, 327; Apple, 10; BN, 2; Kobo, 9.
2. The trade paper edition of Sea Wrack… will go on sale this Friday, December 13. The ebook will publish on December 17. The audiobook will be available from Tantor on January 28.
3. The mass market paperback of Ribbon Dance, of which I had begun to have Doubts, will, so I learn in Locus, publish in April.
3a. No, I’ve heard nothing further regarding the audiobook from Tantor.
4. The hardcover and ebook editions of Diviner’s Bow will be published on April 1.
4a. No, I don’t know when the eARC will be offered; possibly 90 days before the Official Pub Date.
4b. No, I have no information about an audiobook.
Oh, look; the sun’s coming out.
So! That’s my news. What’s yours?
Here’s a picture of Apprentice Editorial Assistant Rook Thunderpaws hard at work this weekend:
Raised your Sea Wrack number by one just now. My doc says my numbers are good, which is nice. There are a number of English Muffins to be had, so I shall.
Counting my blessings,
51 in the Arizona desert. That’s parka weather for us! Good luck with gym & writing!
No gym for me, just a really tedious day of trying to decipher translation of material that’s wa-a-ay above my head anyway, so I can decide whether the questions and answers about it are accurate. I’m not sure I finished the last one, but I did finally abandon it by the end of the day. At least tomorrow I get to start something new.
