I'm looking into all the various methods for self-publishing. Self-publishing is quite the business, I'm learning. Now Amazon has something called BookSurge, which sounds interesting. It would be nice to avoid the whole "trying to sell myself and being repeatedly rejected" thing I would naturally face with traditional publishing...but then again, if I self-publish nobody will ever read my book because I am the worst networker ever and would never sell any copies because I hate selling things in general. Even things I like. But it would be on Amazon.com, and I could publish under a psuedonym and just email people and say "oh, hey, look at this random cool book!" and then it wouldn't be like I was pushing my own book on people. I'm not writing this to make money, but it has taken a big chunk out of my life and it would be nice for something to come of it beyond just being able to smugly say at parties "oh, yeah, I wrote a novel".
That's all I have to say about HP.
Hope everyone has a happy Valentine's Day. Dave and I are celebrating on Sunday with brunch at W.A. Frosts, gifts, and a romantic afternoon of dusting and vacuuming our building. We may also watch Amelie, which is our official Valentine's Day movie.
And happy birthday to my brother Andrew, who doesn't read this blog but deserves a blog-mention nonetheless.
And happy birthday to Abraham Lincoln, too. What a cool guy he was.
And hey....remember summer? That was cool too.

Again. Love reading your blog. I especially liked the picture of summer. I want it to be spring right now. Teddy would like to lay in an open window about now.
He's loosing a lot of cat hair lately, I think it's a sign of spring. Mom
