Right now, I'm working on catching up with Drollerie--sending out contracts, getting some information to them. I hope to finish that tonight. Other than tiredly relapsing and resting and trying to catch up at work, there's not much else to report. What would be lovely tonight is to get the website things I want done, [...]

Tonight's writing became an exercise in sharpening. I was reading chapter 8 for continuity and suddenly the clouds opened. The rays of sharper words showed through, and I tightened. So, a productive two hours on Substance. Received my author pack from Drollerie. Looks like I don't have to register the copyright after all. Well, it's [...]

Too much sleep today and I'm awake now. How ironic! Thought I would use the time to read the Drollerie contract, which looks fine to me. I am going to have to register my first copyright, so more to learn. I also thought I'd get creatively organized and see what I have lined up. Let's [...]

Pending signing of a contract, Sister Night, Sister Moon has found a home with Drollerie Press, of whom you can learn more here: Drollerie Press This will be my first sale, pending whether or not I get the Cats Curious contract for Hulk Hercules before the Drollerie contract. And remember folks, until the ink's on [...]

Did some blahblahblah whacking and some mind meld on chapter 9. Need to add a mystifyin' clarifyin' scene. Long day yesterday. Cleared by the doctor to leave spaceport, but wore myself out by sitting too much. If you can believe it. Last night's effort on the writing was certainly not all out. This weekend, writing [...]

Well, I was right. Chapter 8 held up pretty well. I cut about 3/4 of a page total. Oh, the melodrama! Oh, the angst! Chapter 9 on, though, will require me to be on, so to speak, so I'll be giving it a miss tonight, because I broke down and took some pain medication. The [...]

Feelin' a powerful bit better today, although the tummy still looks pretty savage. I'm beginning to be bored though, and that's a good sign. Today I even cleaned a bit of house. Mind you, nothing substantial. I can't lift anything over 10 pounds for a while. So, after catching up here a bit, I'll begin [...]

I am now coherent enough to let everyone know that I've come through the surgery okay. I'm not coherent enough to write yet, alas. You would not believe the combing I'm doing for typos in this short entry. The operation was successful. Slowly but steadily I have been getting my mobility and my alacrity back. [...]

Students testing in front of me...so I must be back at work! But only for today! And in preparation for Gall Bladder Liberation Day, it's going to be pretty much school work and lesson plans, but here at Writer Tamago I wanted to add that I'll be sending off an academic proposal to Wiscon about [...]

Thanks, Mark, again, for tweaking the site. It's coming along, and I appreciate your help. Last night's activity was getting around with peeps from my writing group to plan out a group activity for reading at Wiscon. We're going to do a great presentation with Julie Rose, Yolanda Joosten, Jenn Racek and myself reading, punctuated [...]
