I'm sitting on good news about my first writer-in-residence appointment and my first invite to a writing festival until they become official. It's killing me. It's also keeping things quiet around here. Soon, soon, there will be news and writing again.
On the Seal Up The Thunder front, early word is for a surprisingly early launch for a spring book: February or so. My my. I am editing vigorously and looking for volunteers to read the whole manuscript and comment on the manuscript design (by which I mean which poems in what order).

You know I’d be happy to volunteer.
tentatively raises hand …
I will read. I would volunteer my husband, but he’s just been given a stack of gaming products to read.
I’ll read, and gladly! Mike will too.
Erin, I’d be very keen in hearing more about this process and how you’re finding it.
Thanks all.
Ivy, short answer: manuscript design is fascinating but frustrating and difficult. To put poems together so that they make a whole greater than itself, or at least make a whole and not a clattering pile of parts — well, this is hard. I will muse about it in public as the process consumes more and more of my brain.
Are you also at this spot?
…hand raises belatedly…
I have been in love with “Thunder” from day one; I’d love to have a part in its process, however small!
