Actually I was wrong - author and artist sign-ups are both Feb 6.
It's from The Vintner's Luck by Elizabeth Knox - it's nearly the last line of the book and it just punched me in the gut when I read it. It's what inspired my username as well :-)
Ooh. And they've lowered their word count to 5k, too. I can do 5k...*tempted*
YES! The Vintner's Luck is basically my favourite book of all time, but nobody I know has read it and they will not do so even though I have flailed at them repeatedly. ALAS.
So, yeah, I read your journal title and I was like, COULD IT BE. AND IT WAS \o/
AT LAST SOMEONE ELSE WHO RECOGNISES ITS GREATNESS 8DDDDDD
Why is there not more fandom for this book? Srsly. I actually met the author at a convention in '10 (SHE SIGNED MY BOOK OMG) but she was mostly there because of Dreamquake, not Luck. Have you read the sequel?
Also, this is completely irrelevant but where is your journal header from - the "between you and gravity" bit? Or did you just come up with it?
