My post about coming up with "For Want of Chocolate" is up over at Edmund Schubert's blog. You can read it here. It begins: "Something is terribly wrong with Edmund."

It's Dream Given Form Time Again

Please pardon my Babylon 5 reference...

I sent the page proofs for ReVamped off today via next day UPS goodness so it will be in the hands of my editor by the deadline. Yay! Meeting deadline = good. :) It took longer than intended for me to get through the page proofs because a bizarre combination of bronchitis and a small cut in my ear canal. For several days, the ear canal injury was worse than the bronchitis, but the coughing and wheezing has finally overcome the ear issue. Only two more weeks of antibiotics and inhalers to go! Woo-hoo!

Which kind of makes me a bit:

But not no worries, because I *did* meet the dealine, so, to reward myself, I watched The Incredible Hulk (the new one not the hideous one from a few years ago). They had me at "Hulk Smash!" That's really all I can say about the movie. It's not as awesome as Iron Man, but it's sooo much better than the Hulk's previous movie outing that I can go watch Ang Lee's really cool martial arts films again with out cringing because of Hulk aftertaste.

I've also been listening to plenty of Trans-Siberian Orchestra Christmas music (I know it's not even Thanksgiving yet, but I'm doing it anyway - MWAHAHAHA!) and I even got to watch the Iron Chef America Thanksgiving episode. All of which has left me much more:


(A quick note to all the WebKinz owners who see Percy at zero Happiness and wonder what I did to my poor little WebKin to make him so unhappy: I wasn't me. It was the ghost. 'Nuff said.)

Coming up soon-ish: An updated publication journey to publication timeline as we near the publication of ReVamped. Soon it will be a real physical object! Squee!

Fresh from the "How Cool is That Department"

I'm in My Hometown Newspaper!

The article is available online, too. Here's a link.

What Was This Blog About Again?

Don't forget that I'm guest blogging over at Patricia's Vampire Notes today. She asked me to stop by and talk about Eric's forgetfulness. You can find it here. I'll also be checking in throughout the day (as best I can) to answer any questions.

See you over there,

Guest Blog Alert!

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that I'll be guest blogging over at Patricia's Vampire Notes Blog on Monday. In the meantime, be sure to drop by and check out her site. You'll find reviews, news, cool links, and even a contest from time to time.

You can find her blog: here.

What's the blog going to be about? Well... it's about Eric... one of his defining traits and here's your hint: Hmmm. That's funny. I can't seem to remember the hint. Or maybe that *is* the hint.

Guess you'll just have to wait until Monday to find out. :)
