clarentineThere. Kith and Kin, the rewrite thereof, is finished. A nice, clean version of the novel exists for sharing, so now's the time to speak up if you're inclined to read it. Canum would be pleased to make your acquaintance.
This is the second book in the series; the first book is with the agent, looking for work. I'm hoping that the lack of a follow-on novel is what stalled possible sales, and so the completion of Kith is a big deal for me. That, and I'm just plain tired of rewriting.
Oh, man, am I tired.

I also managed to get that flu shot on Wednesday afternoon by standing in line for two and a half hours to ensure I'd be one of the 1,000 people they had vaccine doses for. Well, I was sitting in line; knowing it would be a long wait, I brought a chair, my lunch, a bottle of water, and a book. (Elizabeth Bear's Carnival, probably my favorite of hers to date.) As with the regular seasonal flu shot I got in early October, this one has resulted in my neck being a little stiffer than usual, so I've been taking Tylenol and ice cream to remedy that. *g*
***
And now I have time to read. A trip to the bookstore is warranted, as several new books have come out recently that I've been wanting to read but could not, on account of (a) focusing on the rewrite and (b) tired. (That originally came out "ired," which fits, as does "mired.")
What have you read recently that you liked?

Here, have some seasonal color:
That photo was actually taken a couple of years ago, but it's pretty enough to be a keeper. If you like colorful leaves, you might want to check out the viburnum photo, too.

Date: 2009-11-06 04:54 pm (UTC)I'd love to read, but my pace lately is glacial. So I'd be very happy to read but if you'd rather give the spot to someone who'll actually be some use, I understand entirely *g* Details are in my profile, I think.
2) I'm glad you got the flu jab and thoroughly approve of your treatment for a stiff neck. I think I'll try that.
3) I read Ink & Steel and went straight on to Hell & Earth. I haven't finished that yet, but I'm enjoying it immensely. Bear's work just gets better and better.
4) Ooh - pretty! Thank you :)
