I know it’s silly, but I do a little snoopy dance inside every time somebody says they like my writing. The comments here, the emails…well, I just want to thank everyone.

I’m experiencing a curious dilemma…I’m sitting here with six new books that I just want so badly to put up all at once, but marketing sense (not to mention the fact I haven’t done covers for any of them yet) cautions me to dole them out slowly, even after I have them ready to publish.

For one thing, we need to keep CC fresh with new material. Every time we put something new on the main page, that generates web activity, which hopefully brings us new visitors. For another, there are two other people involved here and we need to coordinate so we don’t all put new stuff up at once.

And there are the problems involved with a new publication. If we screw something up and need to send out links to new “versions” that’s a whole lot easier with only one publication involved! Thankfully, most people who bought Heavy Time bought Hellburner and vice versa so I could just send the “new links” email to everyone. But if we had like five new books up there by all of us and had to sort out what to send whom, well, that w/b intrustin’!

Anyway, I’ll be playing with section illos for Ring during Nationals and will have it ready to post in a week or so.

I’ll also be working on ideas for the covers of those six new books.

So much to do…and the pond is beginning to wake up. I’m thinking I want to put up my little “incubator” for “hatchling plants” soon. (A metal rack with a plastic cover.) I’ve never done that before. Any advice from my fellow gardeners? When do you start seedlings?
