I’ve got a book deadline coming up: July 31. This is a happy thing, in that my book has a home and my editor is waiting for it and in a month I’ll be done! It’s also a scary thing, because I work least well when I’m under pressure.
I’m putting the blog on hiatus for the next few weeks, in order to concentrate on the final push. If something really earth-shaking occurs, such as Amazon buying Random Penguin, I’ll post about it, but other than that, you won’t hear from me again until sometime in August.
I will still be answering email and continuing other Writer Beware activities, so please feel free to contact me: beware [at] sfwa.org.
In the meantime, have a great summer, and thank you so much for your ongoing support.
I agree with BuffySquirrel, it should be Random Penguin. Also love your picture for this post- "Writing" scrabble!
Aren't they a bunch of killjoys, NOT calling it Random Penguin?
Best of luck! Happy writing.
wishing you luck
While I applaude your efforts and hope your book is a complete success and that you meet your deadline spectacularly, I just heard that google was able to overturn the "class action" portion of the suit against them, forcing authors to each sue individually. I was hoping to see your reaction. When you come up for air, I'm sure I'll hear from you about it. Love and Hugs. Hope all goes well.
We'll be here when you get back.
That's a great deadline to have! Wishing you smooth writing!
Awesome, Victoria, happy writing!
