Today I finished the new (and probably last) Dancy story. 900 words today, which brought the total to about 9,300 words — two or three thousand more than I'd intended. But now it's done and I can get back to Low Red Moon.
My New York agent's assitant, Ginger, called today and read me the Publisher's Weekly review of In the Garden of Poisonsous Flowers. Bill Schafer had been warned by Bill Sheehan that it was "mixed" and, before she read it to me, Ginger warned me of the same thing. But I was actually fairly pleased with it. And I tend to take genuinely bad reviews rather hard.
I need to go into the museum tomorrow, but I'm so wiped out from today that I'm still not certain I'll make it.
In fact, I think that's quite enough for this evening. Thanks to everyone sending in suggestions for the contest (see March 27th for details); there have been some interesting ones so far. Stay tuned . . .
