Lucky Day
Just had a surprise visit from a very nice young man from the cable company. He found the source of the persistent problem I’ve been having, and fixed it in under twenty minutes. That was nice. Between that and the absolutely fantastic run I had this morning, today is apparently going to be lucky. Maybe I should buy a lotto ticket. *snort* Nah, I’ll just settle for getting my wordcount and errands all done in today.
Here, have a link: Ilona Andrews explains further about ebook pricing and distribution.
I have to admit I was naughty yesterday after I finished wordcount. I watched Dracula 2000 again–mostly because my hairdresser friend texted me about Gerard Butler and once I started thinking about it I was helpless and HAD to watch that movie. They don’t let him talk much, which is a good thing. He’s so pretty and brooding. Then I actually picked up smoke and reread it. I don’t do that often, and of course I see glaring errors in the book and Rose irritates me almost to tears, and I want to absolutely strangle Michael every time. But I think it’s time for me to schedule in some work on avatar.
So, yes, naughty. But I got my wordcount in, and it felt good to relax a little bit. I am slowly relearning the skill of actual relaxation. I haven’t had much call to practice it in the last twenty-eight years or so, and my fumbling attempts at taking a chill or two are probably hilarious to watch. That’s okay. At least I do it at home, where looking ridiculous is sort of expected.
That being said, I’ve got more words and appointments today. So it’s back into the fray, dear ones, where I shall harvest what luck I may. Catch you later.

“But I think it’s time for me to schedule in some work on avatar.”
That would sure make me happy. When you get it done, how about continuing on with Steelflower? I really enjoyed smoke, mirror and Steelflower and look forward to more, hopefully in the near future.

Check your primary Comcast email address. I tried to get a hold of you and let you know he was coming… I’m glad you were home. I’m sorry word didn’t get to you first! *embarassed*

Ah! The mystery is solved! Thank you so much! I usually only check that email once a day tops, and had closed it for the day before you sent me the email. Totally lucky!
You seriously deserve a gold star. Bless you!

I could see the cable dude, carefully removing a very plump little gremlin from the cable box.

Hee! He totally could have too, and he probably would’ve done it with a straight face and blase attitude. He was a very calm individual.

“But I think it’s time for me to schedule in some work on avatar.” Yes! I can’t stop thinking about the (cliffhanger) ending of Smoke everytime I visit your website (which would be almost every day, so maybe I’m just a little obsessed… ) And what about The Society? Do you still plan to write another book(s) in series? (Please?
