Going offline for a while...

Above: This week's Will Write For Chocolate strip, which was inspired by a recent conversation with my niece Sara. See the column below the strip, "Freelance writers: Do you need a grammar brush-up?" for details. Click the comic or go to the main Will Write For Chocolate site to access my comic and column archives.

I'm having fun with this comic, and plan to introduce a sf/fantasy author character soon. I welcome suggestions for his or her name. :-) If you've been enjoying Will Write For Chocolate so far, by the way, I'd very much appreciate it if you would tell someone (anyone who doesn't know about it already) about my comic this week. Thanks, eh? Yes, even a perfect stranger on the street! Especially if they look as if they like writing and/or chocolate!

Did you send me a postcard recently?

Okay, I have to confess. Last week I checked my P.O. Box and found three postcards. I didn't have time to read them, stuck in my bag for reading later, finished my errands. Later that day I went to read my postcards...and couldn't find them. :-( I have no idea what happened to them, but I suspect they have been swallowed in the vortex of chaos that is currently my office. I will keep searching, but if you sent me a postcard in the past few weeks and haven't received acknowledgement, could you please let me know? Include your snailmail address and I will send you a special postcard in return. Humble apologies...it's the first time this has happened, and I feel badly about misplacing the postcards. I will post as soon as I find them.

Book update

I finished the final revisions to my book yesterday (thanks again to Jeff, Ruth and Allison for their helpful comments!). Today, I plan to read through the whole thing to check for formatting and accuracy of chapter headers. I am going to force myself NOT to not do any other types of revisions; I could keep revising forever, I'm sure, but it's time to send my baby out into the world.

Wish me luck. :-)

I will be mostly offline for a while, so Blatherings and my Will Write For Chocolate column will not be updated during that time though I may post to my Livejournal and possibly my Flickr account if the opportunity arises. I'm working on uploading some extra comic strips in advance, so hopefully these WILL keep uploading automatically to Will Write For Chocolate every Wednesday.

Keep your paddles in the water, everyone!*
