- I'm now reading Steal Across the Sky by Nancy Kress. I love her. Also reading Bath Massacre: America's First School Bombing by Arnie Bernstein. It came in the mail earlier this week. It's wonderful to see the real thing in print.
- Yay Iowa!!! I got married there! Very proud of that part of my midwestern roots.
- Bookends blog has an interesting post on what good things an author can do (from an agent's perspective). I skipped the agentfail thing since most of the writers seemed to be largely griping that a) the agents aren't reading their superb and wonderful queries/submissions fast enough b) they hate the no response means no thing and c) how dare agents publicly Twitter or otherwise admit to having a life and taking a break from work when they should be reading all the wonderful queries and submissions from all the commenters. There may have been something interesting further down, and perhaps if I were an agent, I'd find it all useful. As it is, I decided working on my writing was a better use of my time.
- Finally, FINALLY finished chapter 11!!!!!! (I don't think I have enough exclamation marks there to convey my excitement at this.) It feels really good to feel like I'm moving forward again. Maybe I will finally finish and get to start sending out.
That's all. Want to get this up. There is a beautiful thunderstorm going right now. The mist has floated off the Hudson and the thunder rattles the apartment. So besides the worry that my electricity will go out before I post, I'm really enjoying the show.
