bugs do two things


I am writing a book about history.

Here's what I've found:

All roads seem to intersect across the pages on my desk.

Speaking of my desk -- to all the people I've promised bookplates, signed books, and other goodies, they are being mailed out today. That means Michigan, Alabama, and Virginia have some dark materials on the way.

Also on the subject of my desk, I bought a new computer a couple days ago, and there still isn't enough room available on my desk to set it up and swap all the data across from the one I am using to produce today's post.

I will work on it sometime this week.

And that was my day. You know what I mean.

Sounds like a more interesting day than mine, which is currently being spent crafting the (im)perfect query letter. Doesn't help that my book has "imperfect" in the title. Haha!

I hope when you get your query to a reasonably okay stage that you consider shooting it across the bow of Matthew's blog ship.

He gives absolutely terrific query critiques.

Thanks, Andrew. I hope you do too, Adam, all you have to do is ask.

And Andrew, this may be the first time your post image has looked liked something recognizable to me. It looks like a plane crashed on the side of a mountain.

I finished Path last night. We'll talk.

Drew, that's an awesome idea! Thanks. MATT!!! Where should I send my query letter? This is, beyond any doubt, my weakest area of writing. Not good at pitching myself.

H-E-L-P!

One of my neighbors is getting things from you? Awesome for them.


And get your computer sorted out, you'll feel better.

I am in a bossy mood today because I cleaned my room and worked 11 hours.

I emailed you, Adam.
