Odds and Ends
So I've been taking a writing break since I got home from Hollins, both because I'm trying to wrap up a few things and also because I felt I needed to turn off my brain for a bit. It's funny how easy it is to forget that you have published something once it's out in the world. But today I spoke with both the local Borders and the main library and gave them my info (dragged kathleenfoucart along for that, hopefully she didn't mind!) and also got my first statement from Hasbro since BDC came out. Once I figured out how to read the thing it was pretty cool, especially when I realized it ended June 30 not July (i.e., the figures I was seeing was for only 19 days of sales). I think I'm going to try to visit a few more local libraries this week and take my info packet with me too. Now that things are winding down with the house (there's still things to do, but hopefully that will only involve me hiring people to paint and clean for renters, not doing it myself!) I can have a little more time for that and also to work on my thesis. I doubt I'll make it through all the hoops in time for October grad, but that doesn't really matter, as no one marches then anyway and I know a lot of people who should be done Spring 2009.
