Safe travels it is! I’ve been on the road, and finally logged on to see all of these nice messages.

Thanks, Pete. I am looking forward to a summer off before starting the new adventure – and hopefully get lots of writing done on the way.

Thanks for the compliment, Pamela. I will visit your blog and say hello.

Awww, thanks for the good wishes, Carl. Nice to hear from you. I really don’t know how you keep up with all of this reading, writing, blogging business.

I agree, Becky, the change will be good for me. Eight years in the last position was long enough. This will be a good kick in the pants!

Thanks, Andi. I am still mulling it over. I have posted work to the world before, and have mixed emotions about the results. I will think about your advice.

Congrats all around – the job, the draft, the trip.
As for pages, I would be happy to comment, but I think you have to decide if you want feedback or if you already know what you need to do. If you know what you need, then I’d just go with that – if we comment, we’ll just be cloudying your intention.

But if you do decide to post, I’ll be looking forward to it.

Safe travels.

Thanks for the congrats, Deslily. I am really looking forward to my summer off before diving into a new adventure.
I think you should add Neil Gaiman’s ‘Nevermore’ to your TBR pile. I noticed it is not in either one of your lists, and it is my favorite of his.

Very interesting, Litlove. Good luck with your wangling! I will be interested to see what works out for you. The WIP – I am very excited to start working on the edit. So much easier the second time around!
I will surely have a wonderful trip, I promise.

Hi Lady Blue. I am big on wishful thinking, too. Wish it, and then make it happen! My father told me I could do anything I wanted, so I just work under that premise. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn’t, but at least I have tried, and learned something in the process. Thanks for good travel wishes; I am getting psyched up for the trip. xxoo
