The white hot temps of a NYC summer are suddenly and unexpectedly upon us. Usually it's not in the 90s till July and August--never in early June. It's been 99 yesterday and 97 today. Tomorrow it might cool down to 88--whoopie!

I've finished the Nebula Award Showcase Anthology and am relieved and delighted. (well, I'm awaiting one returned contract and a couple of paragraphs from Mike Moorcock about his reprinted story. Then I can hand it in to Ginjer when she's back in the office next week. Extra whoopie!!!

Luckily discovered some problems in the copy edit of Troll's Eye View that are fixable (story order screwed up when I handed the wrong TOCs in)...and am now awaiting several contributor responses to CE queries.

Time to read the stories for the physical incarnation of the Codex online writer's workshop I'm teaching at in a few weeks down in Chattanooga. And read mss and YBFH stuff.

More later.

congrats...


on getting so much done even in the excessive heat. These days I start wilting @ 80, so you have my sympathies. Hope it cools down for you soon.

Re: congrats...


Thank you. I frittered away so much time in the week after Wiscon that I've had to focus and get to work last week and this.

I know the feeling


I want to journal my trip before it all fades away, but writing is the LAST thing my brain wants to do right now. I need something good to read.... ;-)

I always take photos instead :-)

Book/story/nonfiction/fiction. What kind of reading are you looking for?

fiction, please


novel would be lovely, but short stories are fine if they're something I can find @ the library. Something w/ a touch of humour, a likeable lead, atmosphere & a hint of mystery. Is that asking too much?

Sadly, I am discovering that the more I read of modern "supernatural" fiction, the more I like MR James. I just read the 4 WSF stories that the Rs posted over @ AH & only REALLY liked one of them. I'm a fogie, I admit it. 8-(

Hoo boy. Not sure your taste is mine. I like hard-edged fiction. Perhaps others reading here can advise.

I suspect...


our tastes are widely divergent, sorry. I am sadly behind the times, w/ a penchant for likeable characters & happy endings. OR a good old-fashioned creepy scare. NOT romances, though (@ least I don't go there).
