5 more days to end of Auction! (12:01 a.m. June 15th)

OK: 5 days here, and I've finished the "Riverside Marriage" comic script! And also the first draft of my new secret theatrical project which I hope will stop being a secret very soon (when we've got the contract signed. You all know never to tell anyone about a project or sale until you've got a signed contract, right? David Hartwell taught me that, back when I worked for him at Simon & Schuster).

So. Comic done. One more critical look, and then I send it to Collen Doran so she can do the picture. Hmm. . . I wonder which page she'll pick? And who will cast the winning bid for her piece?

And I wonder who will win the chance to illustrate the whole comic (or whether folks will decide to collaborate and divvy it up. . . )? I think it's 7 pages, but it depends on how you break down the panels.

And while we're in there - not that I spend my valuable writing retreat time ego-surfing livelongnmarry or nothin' - but should one care to wordsearch Swordspoint there, one cannot help but notice that in addition to fanfic, socks, someone is offering a completely stunning entire parure for the Duchess Katherine (who has always wanted one) - including, of course, bracelets with "magnetic clasps for quick removal in case of duels." Wowza. Colors are perfect for her, too.

Cause I read about it here, I got some books from Circlet Press put up for auction. Will come complete with autographs. It's almost as much fun to put something up for auction and watch people bid on it than it is to bid on stuff yourself. Except you don't get to keep it. Thanks for pointing it out to us!

I am so glad!

I have Katherine's (spectacular!) parure and am wearing the necklace and earrings now.

I love the world. Really, I do.

Ah; would that be *my* world, or the world in which you are wearing the parure?

Or is it possible that, through the magic of transcendant jewelry, you have managed the trick of being in both simultaneously?

(And might there be photos of you decked out in Tremontainiane splendor for us to enjoy someday?)

My camera is hiding in the mess of possessions on the floor of my new sublet, but as soon as I find it, there will indeed be photos! I don't think I can get the tiara to look good in my hair without external help, though, so that part might have to wait.

The world in which I am wearing the Parure, that being this mortal world (which includes a much less romantic university than the one in your City), is greatly improved by its contact with your world, I have to say.
