My thanks to everyone who put eyes on the Amazon situation. Many noted that the links to Steve’s author page are missing/broken/go somewhere else — that will be my next Amazon-related project, whereupon I will once again ask for your assistance. Thank you so very much being here, and being willing and able to assist us as we navigate the Silly Waters of Freelance.
This morning, lest I forget, there was a reprint contract in the mail. Totally unexpected, but of course Delightful To Behold.
I am in the meantime, making a story from an outtake from Neogenesis. The title is “Street Cred,” and it is destined for a new eChapbook, which I hope to have on-sale before we leave for MarsCon. This morning, it weighs in at about 7,500 words, out of what I estimate to be about 10,000 words, finished. With luck I can finish the draft this evening.
Today, Steve is wanted at the dentist, and I’ll do some errands in town while that work is being done. Sunday is forecast to be sunny and warm; our goal at This Point in Time is to take a nice long drive on Sunday, partly in order to assuage cabin fever, and partly to see if I can do a nice long drive all in one go, in prep for driving to Albany, and getting on a train for Minneapolis.
Let’s see, what else? Oh, our mailbox here at the house fell victim to Winter, the first time in many winters, so All Mail must presently be picked up at the post office in Waterville. Today, I expect to pick up a sweatshirt, and a DVD, along with the usual handful of bills and sales flyers. I’ve really been looking forward to the sweatshirt, and honestly didn’t expect the DVD to make it to us so quickly, which just goes to show that when you order something called “Arrival,” it’ll try to live up to its name.
. . .and I think that’s all I’ve got.
Everybody stay safe, and warm.
Arrival is a marvelous movie. I hope you liked it as much as I did.
I do hope that your resident felines didn’t take “staggering behemoths” the wrong way.
As they are not the behemoths in question, they have no opinion one way or another, except as said staggering adversely impacts the flow of cat crunchies.
Pepe and Piper had kind of a scare this week when I ended up in the hospital unexpectedly for several nights. “Cat food” was on the shopping list when this happened, compounding an already unacceptable situation further. Fortunately, the pet sitter has keys on file and soon got the emergency under control. All’s well that ends well, and a Baen e-arc is going on my new shopping list. Thanks for the restful reading time that comes from your hectic work.
Hospital stays, expected or un-, are not among anyone’s fun thing, here at the Cat Farm. Feel better!
