Quick note
Things are busier than busy here. If you took busy and sent it down a coal mine where it was forced to put its nose to the grindstone while flat-outing like a lizard, well that’s me. Right now. Seriously. I am the headlless chook. Or the chookless head. I can’t be sure. I have major deadlines, minor deadlines, pestilent deadlines, zombie deadlines. I have every kind of deadline. This means everything else is being ignored or given a big fat no.
I recently said NO to several antho invites. To Lauren Myracle’s fabulous Halloween dare. Not to mention doing an appearance on the Rachel Maddow Show.1
Remember, how I got my mail down below 100? *Sigh*. Already they head back to scary out-of-control territory. I doubt I’ll be able to catch up until December at the earliest. Sorry!
I will attempt to keep blogging. You know, in order to stay sane, and delude myself that I’m actually communicating with real live breathing people, and not just communing with Scrivener and all the people I’ve populated it with. Plus, well, I’m kind of a blogging addict . . .
Thank you all for continuing to read and comment here. In the midst of this insanity it’s lovely to hear your voices. Bless!

Ooh — I have to say thank you for turning me on to Scrivener! I had not seen this tool before and it is just so very cool. I’ve been enjoying reading your blog — recently finished Magic or Madness (enjoyed it very much) and the other two in the series made it here in the mail today after waiting with much twiddling of thumbs!
