IAB at Books-A-Million

Thursday, March 31st, 2005

Lynn Viehl’s If Angels Burn was on the shelves at the local Books-A-Million — five copies faced out. And when I left, one followed me home. :D
Stop by the DARKYN site and post your IAB sightings.

Query Letters (That Made Me Writhe and Cringe in Horror)

Thursday, March 31st, 2005

You’ll note that I’ve added a number of new weblogs to my recommended list. This one, however, is in a class by itself. Query Letters I Love, filed here under Editors because I don’t have a more appropriate place to put it, is a regularly updated collection of query letters for scripts. […]

Terry Schiavo Dead

Thursday, March 31st, 2005

Story here. My sympathy goes out to her parents, who fought so hard to save their child’s life.

Magnificent Science

Thursday, March 31st, 2005

Science fiction becomes fact when a paralyzed man regains control of a hand via an implant. This is by no means a finished technology, but it is — now — a real one.

Interesting Iraqi Info NOT in the News

Thursday, March 31st, 2005

This is a forward I received from a friend of mine, who is a major in the Air Force. I’m posting it with permission and removing identifying information per request.
It’s a fascinating bit of reading.

And Today (Cue John Denver, while the blossoms cling to the vine)

Thursday, March 31st, 2005

Wait until I do the post for Tomorrow, and put the song from the ANNIE musical in your head. Don’t you just hate that? And then it’s there all day. "Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya’ toMORrow …"
… I’m so bad …
Anyway, back to today. Today, 3095 more words of WFH1, as […]

Yesterday (Cue Beatles’ Music)

Thursday, March 31st, 2005

I finished WFH1 yesterday at about 3:30 PM, with 3125 words, both done and total. I like what I got, and it is fun writing. It’s very freeing to be somebody else for a while.
Moved on to the LGD proofs, and got through chapter two with three mistakes found and corrected, and one […]

How Sensitive Are You?

Wednesday, March 30th, 2005

A neat test of the senses. I did pretty well, but it was a challenge. This link referred by my friend Keely.

Lawnmower Revelations

Wednesday, March 30th, 2005

I have this problem. So I ended up mowing the whole two acres yesterday. Twice. Once at six inches to knock down the Monster Weeds (TM), and one at two to make it look like a lawn. I ended up cooking my pale blue-white Celtic hide to a fiery habaņero-sauce red, […]

More from the Mailbag

Wednesday, March 30th, 2005

This is the last I’ll post on the Schiavo/ Schindler case. It’s a couple of letters I exchanged between a kind man who loves his wife and who is willing to think the best of people, and me. The nurse who saw what greedy relatives and lawyers can — and will — do.
