It was a very busy day.\u00a0 So will this be, but at least the suspense before launch is now down a notch.<\/p>\n
Reminder: this is a spoiler-free zone for awhile.\u00a0\u00a0 When I do open a topic for discussion of Oath of Fealty<\/em>, it will be signposted as having spoilers, so those of you who don’t like them will find it easy to avoid.\u00a0 (No spoilers in my entry post, for instance.)\u00a0\u00a0 But for at least the first week or two,\u00a0 we’re not discussing the book (though unbounded adulation is always appropriate, says the Authorial Ego.\u00a0 The Authorial Ego won’t shut up.)<\/p>\n Today’s schedule is hardly less busy, but it’s all back room work, not being out in the public eye.\u00a0\u00a0 Work on revisions and call Editor about the one that’s not coming clear.\u00a0\u00a0 Work on copyedits for UK edition of the Gird\/Luap omnibus.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Install new printer.\u00a0 Print business cards.\u00a0\u00a0 Write at least 500 words on poor, neglected (and resentful!) Book Three, which is tired of being shunted aside.\u00a0\u00a0 Find out from Brian-the-farrier when he’s delivering the lamb to John-the-rancher so I know when to be ready (with my sack of stuff) to go over to the ranch and deal with it.\u00a0\u00a0 It will be today or tomorrow, so work on the bookstuff has to be pushed, to leave time for the fabrication of the lamb.<\/p>\n Oh, yeah, and laundry and kitchen work and so on and so on.<\/p>\n And while I’m doing that, I hope those of you with book in hand are reading it and enjoying it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It was a very busy day.\u00a0 So will this be, but at least the suspense before launch is now down a notch.
