I do wish...

I wish that when I'm badly stalled out doing revisions (or writing, for that matter) and playing game after game of solitaire, that I would consistently remember that even if I don't think I need to, what I really do need to do at that stage is print out the book and have a hard copy to go over. It can take me weeks to figure this out, which is ( Read more... )

We don't get many thunder storms. One or two a year. We may get more if the weather stays the same tho'.

We very rarely get forked lightning...did you get to see the forked lighning... it was really cool!

Ah, thanks for the warning. I'm a hard copy reviser, but lately I've been finding a fairly clean mark up from one of my critique buddies and using that, or worse, trying to revise on screen and getting disturbed by how fast paragraphs can be sent to oblivion. It just makes me think how fast an entire published novel can be sent to oblivion. I'm going back to my hard copy today!

Just making sure that you have a UPS and surge protector. Rumbly thunderstorms are fun and good for the soul, but make for nasty voltage spikes that computer equipment find oddly unamusing... No accounting for taste, I guess. :)

SO, havn't read you b4 Winter Moon, but I must say, I liked you as soon as I read your paragraph. After chuckling to myself (because, yes, M. Lackey equal VERY intimidating... at least when she is inspired)I went on to read Banshee Cries, thinking that anyone who writes such a great introduction had to have written a great story... I wasn't dissapointed ( ... )

I'm glad you enjoyed the novella, Jean. :) There are unanswered teasers in that story deliberately: the idea is to encourage you to go out and buy URBAN SHAMAN and THUNDERBIRD FALLS! No on-going series answers all the questions in a single book, and "Banshee Cries" is no exception. :)

It didn't occur to either me or Jo to be angry in that garden scene, so while you may have felt it wasn't the appropriate character response, it seems Jo was good with it. Characters, like people, don't always do what we expect!

If I'm ever in Milwaukee, I'll do my very best to arrange coming by MHSA. Thanks!
