I'm Here!

I'm sitting at the little upstairs cafe at the bookstore. I was the first person to come in about the signing and they made a little fuss over me. I have a stickie note that says "#1 Customer in Line"

It was 2:00 when I got here and they will start setting out chairs at 6:30 so I'm settling in 'til then.

Update: Some other Pratchett fans have arrived (it's 4:15) but it's not a lot yet. I only have about an hour's worth of battery left anyway and I don't see an outlet up here in the little bookstore cafe. I need to use the bathroom, too. I hope the SO gets here soon.

I was reading POD-dy Mouth the other day and followed a link to something she had recently read. I forced myself through a number of pages. I swearthat if I ever write something that before I do anything with it I will have objective readers read my work and tell me it doesn't suck. I will ship it around and if it doesn't sell it will go in a drawer. I will *not* do what this person has done and put it out there myself if nobody commercial will buy it. What was this person thinking? And I mean that in all honesty, not snidely, I'd really like to know the thought processes that brought the writer to this.



One of our cats is pretty sick. It caught a cold from being kenneled when we went to Ireland back in July and just didn't get over it. He'd get a bit better then he'd get worse. So the other day we took him to a new vet who is a great improvement over the previous guy and we're hopeful he'll get the treatment he needs.

I like this. I wish I could make a living sitting in a cafe blogging and surfing and posting on AW.

OK, gonna post this and if I write more it'll be in a new post
