Year of Miracles & stuff

Last night I was feeling pretty pathetic and out of ideas for the last few stories in the Old Races Short Story Project (Part One), and moaned at Ted about not knowing what to write.

An hour of brainstorming later I had three story ideas for the first part and one for the second, and today I went into Dublin for the purpose of voting, but since I

I’m pretty sure I could have actually fallen asleep in the massage chair.

When I was having Serious Physiotherapy, my therapist (also called Karen) would cause me the most pain I've ever endured in my life, then attach the four giant nozzles of her hyper-TENS machine to my back and turn it on low and say "Tell me when it gets too much" and I'd say "Oh, come on, you know how this works - just dial it all the way up to maximum," and she would do that, and I would lie there under the tingly electrical impulses - and fall entirely reliably asleep, every time.

Hah. I did have one massage where I kept falling asleep, but I also had a really bad cold, and my nose was very, very stuffed up. When I would fall asleep, my tongue would relax and fall forward and block my mouth so I couldn't breathe, so I kept waking up again too. It was very funny in a very bizarre way. :)

I love the train bit.

Also, new stories, yay! I am really blocked on the novel I am writing now (you know that little spin-y thing you get on your computer when it is trying to think and failing? pretty much my brain, when I'm trying to write). I'm hoping a brainstorming session with a friend will jump start me...

Question? It sounds like you're adding stories to Year of Miracles, but I already have a print copy of Year of Miracles on my shelf. Is this going to be an expanded edition?

[mizkit]

You're one of like twelve people who has that edition. Hold on to it, it's shiny and different. :) Everything after "Year of Miracles" in that edition is going to go into the "Kiss of Angels" print book, and there will be a bunch of new stories in YoM instead.

Thanks for the clarification! I look forward to the new edition.... :)
