Got the revisions back on my Cavemen anthology story that releases in June. I’m putting aside BIAW temporarily to get that done. It should be pretty much accepting changes (where Wonder Editor fixed my punctuation and inconsistent verb tenses) but I need a new title in a hurry. Turns out there’s a recent anthology with a too-similar title. I had a couple of other working titles for this project that I’ll dig up, and I’ll see if anything better comes to mind while I revise and get it ready to return.
I am still on track for BIAW. Hurrah! Well, I did want to clear the decks and this will do it. I’ll have nothing between me and finishing Jane’s Addiction, the next installment in When Sparks Fly.
20 years later: it’s dawned on me recently that 1985 plus 2005 equals 20 year high school reunion. So I went out and signed up for one of those find your classmates websites and lo, there’s a reunion in the works for August! I posted a thing that said I didn’t know if I’d make it (it’s a month after my due date), but here’s what I’m doing now and love to hear from anybody. Not one hour later I get an email from one of my best high school friends! Turns out she’s living about 4 hours away in the same state so even if I don’t make the reunion we can get together. How cool!
And here’s my public service announcement for the reunion planners: there are about 300-odd graduating members missing and not heard from yet. Soooo…if you or anybody you know is a Capital High School class of 1985 graduate, go register for the reunion! It’s free to sign up with the site, you don’t have to commit to going, but check in and say hi. We’re all curious about what you’ve been doing.
Of course, this led to lots of Deep Thought on my part about what I’ve been doing the last 20 years. “Learning to write” sounds glossed over, but that does sum it up. I’m a self-actualization Mazlow freak and I do believe life is about becoming more your authentic self. My authentic self is a writer so that’s what I’ve been working on all this time. In the process of growing into myself, I’ve been discarding all the pieces that weren’t really me.
Anyway, I’ve put the August reunion down on my calendar with a tentative maybe. If I make the trip it seems I ought to combine it with business, so I will put out some feelers about doing a joint signing at Borders or Waldenbooks or both.
