(no subject)

I am having my quiet day. I am online for a meeting that doesn't seem to be happening, which is fine by me because it means I have finished one of my book reviews. Instead of two meetings today I have none, and a chance to catch up with myself. And to breathe. Breathing is good.

I was going to point you towards a new blog, where interesting things are being said about publishing from a small press angle. There is a post just up on the effect of public sour grapes by authors on editors, which is provocative and worth pondering. I am not posting a link, though, because the prior post is about me, and I am embarrassed. So if anyone wants to see the sour grapes post then please email me and I will post you a link.
