This morning I finally finished the interview for Alex Johnson; I am extremely out of practice with these things. I spoke with Bill at SubPress; we're still trying to find the right cover artist for Bright Dead Star, and we need one last month. It was not an unproductive day. I'm ( Read more... )

Summer seems to be settling in. Sunny, mostly, and our high today was 86F.

I did less than a thousand words on The Sun Always Shines on TV this morning. I am so far behind. I am years and years behind. Which makes it even harder to get out of bed.
