This urge, wrestle, resurrection of dry sticks

Posted on

I’m takinga break from reviewing submissions for Conclave: A Journal of Character to update my marketing/author promotional materials for my agent.

Last update from Agent Man was that five publishers have my manuscript, The Silence of Trees and are waiting to see my bio and marketing strategy.

(Of course, I hadn’t intended to stay up until 3:30am putting these materials together. Tomorrow I have lunch and dinner plans with friends. Coffee will definitely be a part of both dining experiences.)

Night.
