randomly....

Things I love being able to say:

"A good horror novel is all about the come-on and the reveal."

Working with a client who has an amazing amount of potential, in a very King-like way, and maybe enough talent to break out of the pack. We'll see. Want to get it all done before I head into Manhattan tomorrow for the signing at Books of Wonder.

Next up: a line edit from one of the major houses, wherein the mananging editor has already warned me that there are continuity errors. Joy.

And (she says, looking at her List) I have some last minute fixes to make on another project due before WFC, and my obligatory talking cat story to finish up and get out of my hair.... but that will require the writer-hat.

And, speaking of which, I need to get my hair cut. Yes. ETA: and lo, it has been cut. A lot.


At least my WFC meals-and-deals schedule is set. Mostly. Until someone I haven't touched base with yet gets in touch with me..

I love my home state...

"Gay couples have the same marriage rights as heterosexual couples under the New Jersey state constitution, the state Supreme Court rules." -- CNN News Update

ETA: Following this on the news, and it looks like my first evaluation was right -- this isn't an MA-type "gay marriage is legal" blow, but a very measured legal ruling that states that marriage-rights may not be determined by gender makeup but rather by commitment. The legislative branch now has a set period of time to determine how to make it so.

The wording may not be what activists want -- "one marriage for all couples" -- but I firmly believe that wording is less important than protection, esepcially with so many hetero couples opting out of marriage in favor of domestic partnerships, these days...
