(no subject)

Today has started much better than yesterday. The editor agrees with me about the contract, still wants my piece and is going to renegotiate with the publisher.

I'm going to acquire some toner when the temperature goes over ten degrees (frozen toes and virus not being handy together, also it being easier on breathing which, today, is an issue). That should sort out the rest of the day.

I promised a questions post. I'll do a separate one, so you don't have to read half-news first. Anyhow, I'm only half-awake.

Half-awake, half-news, half-well, things not going half-badly: this is the kind of day Monday is.

Life through Cellophane

Life through Cellophane is purchasable direct from my publisher, using paypal. http://www.eneitpress.com/books.php?isbn=9870980691115 Which reminds me, I need to use up some of my copious free time and put a picture of that lovely Andrew McKiernan cover on my website. Soon, very soon. When I identify free time.

Eneit Press posts overseas, I believe, and you can get an anthology containing my Passports short story (In Bad Dreams 2) at the same time and have two lots of Gillian-writing to frustrate you. Or rejoice in. Or something. Postage added to the onsite cart is for Australia only, so you may want to email Sharyn.Lilley(at)eneitpress(dot)com before you do an overseas order so you can pay the right amount.

(I didn't do the URL as a link because that means the people who read my blog using feed would not see it - sorry, though, for the ugliness)

ETA: I fixed the email address - sorry for putting the wrong one there originally. Some days I am brighter than others. Some days I am differently bright. Today, though, I am just confused.

Questions, questions

I promised, didn't I?

For those of you who haven't seen one of my questions posts before, every now and again I say "Ask me questions, if you want." Mostly people ask me things they need to know for their writing or school or stuff about food and foodways, but questions about my fiction are entirely fine.

The usual rules apply.

I reserve the right to not answer something. I seldom use this right, but I like to have it in reserve, just in case, since personal questions are not barred.

I only answer questions that are reasonably easy to answer, especially if it requires my professional expertise. If you need help with a novel or a history project and that help is going to take two hours of my time, then you can email me and ask for a quote.

Someone has already asked "How long is a piece of string."

You have till Thursday. Ask away!
