Print version of <strong>Language Clinic</strong>---yes. That's a few days of work. It'll be soon. Tonk addiction---yes. I love the Tonk, and am going nuts waiting to get back to them. I'm hoping like mad that the paperback version of Hawkspar does well enough that Tor will want more Tonk books. Other clinics---interspersed with contracted and on-spec fiction, and as quickly as I can get to them. All disclaimers, however, apply. Other stuff.

The phrase is used today to describe delaying, and not in a good way. My student has been waiting for comments on her revision, and from her end of things, it pretty much has to feel like hanging fire. <a href="http://tedshelton.blogspot.com/2005/12/hanging-fire.html" rel="nofollow">More details on the term.</a> Hanging fire is a firearms term that originated around the time of Mark Twain, when occasionally the erratic guns of the era would fail to fire immediately, but would discharge not long after—sometimes as the user was inspecting the weapon to see what went wrong.
