*sigh*

Bummer…the only thing worse than not winning the Speculative Literature Foundation’s Older Writers’ Grant is finding out that I didn’t win from someone else’s LJ. I haven’t gotten the official notification yet.

I just sent Christina’s galley proof off to her. If things continue to go well, Cat the Vamp will be on sale by Christmas! Of course, now I have to do the cover design. I’m still chewing that over.

Man, it’s quiet online. Everyone seems to be depressed, or busy, or decompressing from the weekend, or packing for next weekend, or at an event, or sick, or moving, or something else that’s keeping them incommunicado (at least from me).

But, I better go start finding illustrations for the “slide show” part of my talk next week. It’s the first time I’ve done something like this, should be interesting!
