Note on chatting...

I have an AIM and yahoo account that I log onto every once in a blue moon. You are welcome to drop me a line anytime I show up online! I may not have time to chat, but if I don't answer, it's not 'cause I'm ignoring you, but more likely because I forgot I turned it on and have wandered away from the computer. :P I'm ellenmillion, of course. Just an FYI.

Yay for cranberries, boo for back!

Went out and picked 2 quarts of cranberries today - found the motherlode! Patches that you could sit in the middle of and pick with both hands in two different directions for a good ten minutes before needing to move. Norway enjoyed it, too, and once he figured out what I was looking for, thought he could help by finding and eating them, too. Silly Norway - cranberries are for people! He made faces while he snorfed them up, I don't think he was exactly *enjoying* the flavor.

Alas, between cranberries and yesterday's endeavors, I am in agony - I didn't realize how much until I stood up from the last fistful of berries and started for home. Oww. OWW. Will be taking it easy the rest of the day, by necessity.

Second set of eyes?

My artists guidelines page was in need of an update - most critically because I needed to warn about submissions being closed 15 Oct - 15 Jan, but also because it needed a general text brush up.

But I'm considering that maybe I'm being a little too knee-jerk to a bunch of the drama that's swirling around the world of fantasy art licensing right now. Will you check out the updated guidelines and see if you think they sound okay? Too pompous? Too silly in places?
