I was down at the New Amsterdam...

...staring at this yellow-haired girl.

This is the current shape of my 2013, with travel dates and everything. Beautiful travel dates. Hope to see you sometime in the months to come. 2014 is now half the list, July 2014 is closer to "now" than January 2013. And other horrifying thoughts. (Most horrifying of all, the first 2015 date has appeared. Gleep.)

You may notice that a few things have moved around on the lists. This is because I am trying to organize them a little more "top down" when they relate to things that don't have attached dates. Also, because there has been some confusion: some things, especially novel-length things, may appear more than once, in the "publication date" and "being written" lists. This is because the "being written" list is an aggregate, which also includes "no fixed deadline" (IE, being written on spec or for the website) and "unsold" (IE, being written because I can). So new books will appear there for a long time before they vanish, since books take a long time to write, but may also have pub dates listed higher up.

Look at that list. It's so shiny!

If I don't see you at WorldCon I will be very cross. Just so you know. :-)

(Not sure where my table is in the dealer's room yet.)

I actually have ALL OF FRIDAY free, so I get to go shopping!

I have no idea what sort of things will be in the dealer's room this time. I'm hoping for wonderful things, or at least things I can afford. Magpie girls, so easily pleased.

I'm looking forward to meeting you at Boskone!

To quote the actual post:

Oooh... :-) :-) :-)

I saw that. It made me cry a bit - happy tears. So very much love!

It's got a plot and characters and everything now.

Be afraid.

I can't be afraid, dear heart. I'm too busy being proud enough to bust and delighted all to blazes. xx

Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation with a black-haired flamenco dancer...

She dances while her father plays guitar, you know.

A most excellent earbug for my Tuesday. Thanks.

Wish you were coming to Dragon*Con instead of going to Texas, alas!

Alas!

*scanning idly through the list* "Ah yes, many happy things I'm looking forward to buying and reading." *eyes stop, catch, pause, blink* "That... that says Still Catch the Tide, and it's in italics, as in a book title." *brain DED of SQUEE!*

I don't even need to know what the plot is, you're using the title of one of my favorite cover songs by you, as the title for a book by you. This has now moved to the top of my, "Books I am eagerly looking forward to" list. =)

You and me both, oh, you and me both... I adore that Seanan sings my songs. She makes them live in whole new colours.

HOORAY!!! Thank you for letting me know. =)
