Sorry, I'm so out of the loop... but is the anthology with your story in it? Very exciting news indeed!

Hope you're doing well. I'm baking in SC with my family. Well, I'm not baking, as in baking cupcakes (I wish! I so want a cupcake right now) but being baked. Except not really because I'm inside a heavily air conditioned house. Can houses be heavily air conditioned? How about this: I'm killing the earth by siting inside a house that is a good twenty-five degrees Fahrenheit below the temperature outside, and I do feel mildly bad about that (the earth killing part, not the 25 degrees cooler than the outside part, though they are, in the end, the same) but only mildly.

And I still want a cupcake.

How are you?

Yes, it is the anthology with my fable in it! I'm so excited!

I am about the same except I feel far less guilty about being cool and actually just made some white chocolate chip-macademia nut cookies are to die for! Go me! And I spent the afternoon with my son watching HP 7.2 or whatever we're calling it! It was amazing. I feel so complete. They did a good job with it.

How's baby?

ACS! ACS! ACS!

Okay, I've been MIA on EMERGENCE lately. I'm blaming it on the kids.

I will get Chapter 3 to you--later tonight!

I've reread and edited everything and am now at the very painful part of continuing, ha ha. I will admit that I'm going to write critical scenes for awhile, including the climax and maybe some "second doorway" kind of stuff. I think it will increase my motivation.

Funny thing, though--the um, romantic/sexy scenes, are suddenly very hard for me! WTF? I think it just matters so much more now. Not just for fun, but part of the plot. Anyway, I'm stuck in the middle of a hot spring with my two leads and need to get back to them.

*hugs* BTW, your kids are totally needing you this summer, so it's ok. Hope C's healing beautifully.

Ha ha! Well, I have no idea how good it will be, but I will be just so pleased as it's my first creative (non-scientific) publication. Not saying that science isn't creative, but you know....
