cancer stuff update
Hey folks,
Just wanted to check in and let you all know that things are finally moving again here. I got some good news on Monday, which is to say that my oncotype came back and there’s no indication that chemo will reduce the chances of a recurrence, so I am off the hook for that (and enormously relieved, honestly). And the Infamous Seroma has ( Read more... ) -

Hey folks,
Just wanted to let everybody know I came through yesterday's surgery fine, and I'll probably be writing a public newsletter post with some of the grosser details for everybody's enjoyment. My surgeon was great, my anesthesiologist was named Dr. Faust, and I'm in remarkably little pain all things considered.

Oh well. Life is what happens while you were making other plans. -
The good news is I'm a writer and already won 75 pairs of pajamas
Hey, folks.
Ages since I updated, and I'm sorry.
This is one of those bad news but not the worst news posts, which is to say that I've been diagnosed with early stage breast cancer and am in the process of scheduling surgery and radiation for it.
This means that The Folded Sky will probably be a little delayed, because at least two months of my ( Read more... ) -

Basically, this morning was nothing but the highest quality kitten cuddles, as Duncan and Molly were being unbelievably cute.

A draft, a veritable draft.
3300 words today to finish off my untitled Shirley Jackson inspired SF story, which was supposed to be 7000 words and is 9500. AND IT'S DONE DONE DONE.
Well, okay, not done.
Because not revised, and I am waiting to hear back from an editor on how much it might need to be cut.
