A Writer’s Responsibility, Etc.
My weekly post at The Midnight Hour is up. It’s about a writer’s responsibility.
Things are looking brighter and brighter all the time. I mean, we’re not out of the woods yet–we have three weeks until everything is settled, for better or for worse–but the first round has gone to us. It is good to have truth on one’s side, but it’s probably more useful to have a decent lawyer, since the truth can be shouted down and squeezed out of this type of process. Anyway, I’m home, it went well, and I’m cold (the house has been closed up and empty most of the day) but I’m sanguine. As well as exhausted.
It was nice to get home, get into the velvet pants (hey, some days a girl just NEEDS velvet stretchy-pants. It’s like some kind of law.) and eat a salted caramel. It’s even nicer to have that one hurdle over and done with.
Last but not least, I finished Kage Baker’s Sky Coyote, the sequel to In The Garden of Iden, which I loved so much. I’m beginning to see the shape under the cloth of her narrative, and I’m fascinated. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book. Baker is frocking fearless, willing to take such risks with her characters and situations, and I adore that in a writer. Again, the anachronisms gave me a hard time, but that’s purely my own personal fiddle and shouldn’t reflect on the overall quality of the book.
I finally got my hands on a copy of Stephen King’s Danse Macabre. I’ve wanted to read this again for ages, but I think I might not be able to knock off more than half of it today before the weekend starts and I go between volunteering at the store and working on proof pages etc.
*glances at sheer amount of work to do*
*puts head on laptop and cries*
*gets over it*
Ah well, no rest for the wicked, eh?
Have a good weekend, everyone.
