I recently got pounded by deadlines, so I've been doing my best to try to stay afloat. It's the last week of the fall quarter, so there was much grading and much end-work prep. Needless to say, I've neglected the blog. So here I am. Checking in. *wave*

Many of you chose Cover #4, which is the cover that Amy, the designer, and myself have chosen.

I'm in the midst of proofreading my 1st proofs (another deadline). It's interesting to revisit the manuscript in this form. The formatting doesn't make the idea of the book any more real.

To be honest, I haven't had my mind on anything literary for awhile. I've been playing video games to take the edge off.

My Thanksgiving was fine, thank you. My family members from Portland drove up the I-5 corridor and crashed with my parents in their tiny Bellingham abode. Much madness ensued.

There was a houseful of "Tweenagers" and a PS3 with all the accouterments. The funniest game has to be Little Big Planet.

Current Spin:

Son Volt. I'm seeing these guys this Saturday with Meredith, in tribute to the end of the quarter.
