Good Morning, All
And a fine good morning to you.
Last night we watched Shane–the Alan Ladd version. As a Western dealing with the theme of emotional infidelity, I liked the book better. But then again, I would. I’d like to see a very dirty, gritty, Deadwood-esque Shane. I think that would be killer.
Anyway, I have good news but I can’t share it yet until I get permission. Yaay! I will just say I danced around in a circle squeeing my lungs out. It’s happy news. I can’t wait to be able to tell you.
Now, on to the next thing: the mighty podcast. I’ll be doing a podcast, probably some time in late March/early April. And what will this podcast entail?
Well, that’s up to you. Here’s how it works: you send your questions to me. I’ll answer as many as I can in an hour-long podcast, which subscribers to my newsletter The Dark Side will get a link to.
What I will answer: questions about writing, Danny Valentine, the Watchers, the Society, publishing, and general subjects.
What I won’t answer: Politics. Personal questions. And “how do I get an agent/publisher/contract” questions. I’ve been getting a lot of those lately.
So. Think of a question you’d like to ask me and send it to the above email address, and sometime in March we’ll have ourselves a little chat. Just me and you, dear Readers.
ALSO, don’t forget about the ongoing contests! So far the Japhrimel Slogan contest is getting the most response. I haven’t seen much art or fiction. *sad panda face* We’re getting near the deadline, so I’m hoping for a last-minute rush. Optimism strikes eternal.
Today is a lovely day, full of wind and sunshine. It’s a bit chilly, but spring is in the air and a bounce is in my step, for once. Off I go to make a dent in some copyedits, dear Reader. I hope you are having a wonderful week.
