Rains:pours

[voxwoman]

so, I'm swamped at work, and the managers are breathing over my shoulder to boot. It's probably just as well, because the Manager Who Thinks She's A Writer But Is On Vacation For A Month left me a huge stinking pile of source material that must be rewritten and it's taking longer than I thought it would (finding the new information buried within paragraphs of repetition and marketingese is tedious and time-consuming).

Add to that the two novels waiting for me on the dining table, Howl's Moving Castle (purchased because we really loved the Miazaki anime based on that book - it's now playing in an art theater near you - go see it!) and Harry Potter and the Half Blood Whatever just arrived from Costco today.

Add to that my grueling orchestra rehearsal schedule (2 nights/week) - I'm enjoying it anyway because I'm in this with my daughter and one of her friends, and the conductor is having us play "Take 5" which I like, and is blowing the minds of the 11-13 year olds, which is amusing to watch.

Add to that recording sessions that are turning out some great tracks

Add to that getting ready for a vacation in 3 weeks.

So if you don't see me online a lot, you'll at least know why. (and yeah, I'm trying to avoid spoilers as well)

My, you DO have quite a plateful. Oh well, you don't have time to read my story and I don't have time to send it to you either. I've got one last pass through it tonight or maybe tomorrow morning or both and then I've got to get it into the mail. I got the response to my query last week saying to send it and I don't want to wait so long the editor forgets he wanted to see it.

Enjoy HP. I'll get a copy when they go on sale tables at Borders.

That was me. I don't know why this browser keeps logging me out.
