Thank you and sorry
Lately, I’ve been receiving a slew of lovely fan letters mostly about HTDYF but also about the trilogy. More than I’ve ever received before. Thank you so much.
I’m really sorry I haven’t replied yet. Right now there are more than three thousand emails in my inbox. And lots and lots and lots of other more pressing matters—you know, the kind that pay bills—have to be dealt with before I can get to the non-urgent email. Please forgive me.
Obviously I’m not very good at managing my time, but I’m working on it. I will get to your letters I just don’t know when. Please bear with me.
In the meantime, I remain committed to blogging every day. So if all else fails you’ll always hear from me here.
I just wanted you to know that your letters and comments make my day. Thank you.
And if anyone can loan me a time-enlarging device, I’ll be your best friend.
