Hello, my loves!
As many of you already know from Twitter and/or Facebook, I was stricken with plague a few weeks back. The dire malady didn’t affect my blog, really, as I posted something right at the start of the death-warmed-over-ness and then posted another something right as Horrid Gunkdom finally capitulated. Since then, I’ve been playing catch-up, which is my favorite game, and I just lied to your face about how much I enjoy playing catch-up.
The upshot of it all is that the blog has suffered this week. I am sorry. I want this place to be more for you guys than it is for me, and this week, I’ve let you down. I apologize. Please forgive.
Please especially forgive because the Suffering of Blog must needs continue into next week. You see, starting tomorrow, I’ll be facepainting part-time at the Oklahoma State Fair. It’s only four hours per day for four days…but that’s 16 fewer hours I’ll have to work with over the next six days. Therefore, although I hope to grace Court Can Write with my presence over the next week, I can make no guarantees.
The other thing that’s currently a thing is actually two things:
(1) final edits for the first issue of “A Consortium of Worlds,” our short story e-magazine, are due next Wednesday, and
(2) Shadows after Midnight final manuscript, back cover copy, and cover art with trade dress are due next Thursday.
I am a bee of much busyness.
I will come up for air, my dear inklings. And when I do, you shall be the first to know! (Or at least second.)
Also, I shall try to finagle permission from my employer to post pictures here of my facepainting artwork. Because I know you dears love visuals. And because I love you, I shall end this post with a VEC* for you:

The blog has to be the thing to suffer when time is lacking? Say it’s not so! Why, there are many small things you could stop doing to give yourself more time each day. I advise you to stop worrying about whether your clothes match, save time by leaving all doors open so you never have to stop to open one, and get a motorized wheelchair to run about your daily errands. This will save you loads of time!
My clothes are supposed to match?
; )
So far, I’ve managed not to be absent from my own blog, although I haven’t been fully present, either! At least I’m popping in every other day or so to let people know I’ve still alive and kickin’.
Now, to locate a motorized wheelchair….
