desperanceWell, of course it does. But, oy.
For the last few days I have been reading through my novel (with my own name on it!) House of Doors, for purposes of editorial revision. Over the weekend, as you know, I proofread the Talbots' new book. Also, Bryan has just sent me his text for the next Grandville episode, in hopes of feedback. Also, I am proofreading two books for Book View Cafe.
What arrived this morning? The CEM of Rotten Row, my SF novella*.
And all of this, all of it, has to be done before I go to California in twelve days' time.
*reads*
[EtA: it is of course all lovely and sunny outside; so it's probably just as well that I have to wait in. I missed a delivery on Thursday, rescheduled it for Friday and it never came, rescheduled it again for today. How confident am I? That's right. That's right.]
[EtA 2: I knew I'd forgotten something. Student portfolios, to be collected, graded and commented upon. By next Wednesday. Collected, read, graded and commented upon.]
*Just en passant: I was going to quip about how sure I was that the proper singular form was novellum. But I looked it up. It's Italian. The proper plural, the preferred plural in my dictionary, is novelle. Yay.
