I don't know how to let you go
Am slowly getting back on all my late e-mail. Yay! Soon enough I'll be able to read at long last all the good fiction I've missed during those holidays.
I'm also quite glad because things with Ordinary People are picking up. It's a webseries in French I'm co-writing with three other authors, all of them quite talented. All of our characters live in San Francisco, and we're simply telling their lives, how they come to interact, etc. It's a whole lot of fun and you learn a lot from working with others... not to mention the fact that we have quite a lot of fun yapping at each other. I love those girls. Anyway, it's been two years since we first decided to do this together, and we've posted all in all two episodes. Quite sad, yes, but as I said, things are picking up. I'm working on episode four and it feels good. (Am also trying to respect French punctuation and oh how I hate it.)
Gakked from twixou and yodah.
