(no subject)

I ought to point you to Richard Harland's excellent site on writing online (I took the URL last year and forgot to blog it, in fact) but if I do so, then it will look like puffery when you get to this page. It's a good site.

My day is full of exciting things like this. I just got a gorgeous parcel from the US containing The Scrapped Princess (vol.1 plus a Pacifica figurine) and two mangas. I am a very happy bunny, and most grateful to Jason of Animefansonline for drawing my name out of a hat. It just happens to be anime night tonight, so I'm going to take my loot along and do some swanking.

I'm reading some lovely short stories this week, but I can't tell you quite why yet. Well, I can tell you. It's for an anthology next year. I just can't tell you the lineup yet. What I can say is that two of the writers want to strangle me right now, because the subject matter is causing them much angst. Since they've both blogged about it, some of you are suddenly looking full of secret knowledge.

That's not all of the excitement. That is, however, all of my energy. I leave you to imagine the rest.
