 So, back a few months ago, Steph at Fangs Wands and Fairy Dust asked me if I'd be interested in participating in a "Fool for Love" bloghop. 

What would they need? I asked, already calculating my available time and brain cells.

Oh, she said casually (too casually), just, maybe a guest post, or a personal ISO ad from your characters, or even a recipe...

Wait.  A recipe?  I could do that.  Maybe a scene of, oh, Bonnie and Venec's first date, and...

And a few weeks, and FOUR THOUSAND WORDS LATER....

I was, indeed, a Fool for Love.

Check the blog, and find out when I'm up!

 Over on Civilian Reader, wherein we discuss who I am, what I do, and how I know I'm not a cartoon character...

 

In other news, there's not a lot to tell...yet.  Hold onto that YET for a while longer....

I strongly suspect this will be mostly reblogs, random photographs, and random whimsy.  For that reason, I'm keeping it under the meerkat/suricata nametagging, rather than Gilman.  However, all things evolve...

1700 new words on the page yesterday for Pack of Lies, and I'm though a scene that was really hard to write. That particular scene needed a lot of repressed emotion packed into it, but for me to write it I had to open up the tap...and then squeeze it back into repressed state as I wrote. Like using a snorkeling breathing tube while playing the harmonica. Okay, not at all like that. But difficult.

I really want to get to the chasing-and-shooting part of this book already. Hopefully today, if Venec co-operates.


A report on the BVC Chat Sunday night is up here: http://www.tor.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=blog&id=14411 And I'm pleased [and relieved] to announce that the final testing on the premium content got green across the board this weekend, so there will be additional material going up Very Soon Now. Yes, that includes the "backstory" for P.B. Updates when they happen. :-)


Random Bits:

RiP Alfred Knopf Jr., aged 90, founder of Atheneum. Died Saturday.

Zagats is expanding into....doctor's guides. Oh, this could get ugly...

Sam Donaldson has announced his retirement from ABC News.

Anybody got any other Random Bits to share?

Sunday was....sort of a blur. No writing done, but a lot of the essential Other Work that goes into being a writer, including some marketing run-up and website work. Then the Sunday Writer's Chat, which was great, and thanks to everyone who came out! They have an animated Cheshire Cat icon that I covet, too.

Today, although it's a holiday for the freelancer's best friend, the post awful, it's back to wordage, and a blog by yours truly goes up over at the Book View Cafe blog, on The Freelancing Dilemma, or Keeping it Real.

Hope everyone who was off conventioning had fun, and stayed away from the Crud.

Now excuse me, I have to go Stare Wistfully in the Direction of My Editor, until she relents and lets me see the mock-up of my cover...
