It’s been a productive week, but I have only covers for Liquid Silver Books this time, as I haven’t heard back yet on any of the first drafts I sent for at least four Loose Id covers. I love how quickly the LSB covers seem to go; I always feel I’m on a roll when I bang them out once or twice a day, which for some reason makes me work even harder and more efficiently. Of course, it helps…
Grumble. What a day! I’m behind in my work, so I attacked my to do list like a woman on a mission and found that I absolutely needed my binder full of archive CDs. …which of course was hidden in one of my many boxes still unpacked, gloriously surrounded by various other unpacked items owned by H.E.—heavy, unorganized items, mind you, which always freaks out my OCD sensibilities when I cast an eye over them. I knew it had to…

After a particularly long and hard day of moving, I had this urge to put aside everything, to forget about all the boxes yet to be unpacked,…
The second half of the move happens today. I owe many people a response of some kind, and I just want everyone to know that I’ll be working on that in the next week or so. Moving is always hard, but this move is slightly more difficult than the average move. We’re moving from two places into one, and then we’re moving stuff to storage as well. On the bright side, my jeans haven’t ripped. Then again, the move isn’t…
