I am SO not ready for it to be halfway through the week. I have to go into town to pay land taxes today, and finish some orders, and have spent entirely too long trouble-shooting 'improvements' at EMG-Zine. The latter was partly user error, partly $%&*@ stupid Word characters, but I do think I've actually solved that problem. Hopefully for the long-term. I did not finish the last story I wanted to have done by today. Bah!

The new issue of EMG-Zine is up! And the new webpage design is revealed! Revel in it's awesomeness! http://emg-zine.com

I have a new story up at Torn World! Those of you who've been following my writing for a while may recognize the bones of this from my Elfwood gallery. It was the second-ever Torn World story that I wrote, and has actual, factual PLOT in it. It has been largely re-written. Enjoy! Homecoming

What else?

Oh, I should probably weigh in on the latest LJ kerfuffle. I don't plan to cross-post any comments I make, ever. I may cross-post my OWN entries, I haven't decided. I ask that you not cross-post your comments from any of my LOCKED posts (which are very rare, and usually locked for a reason and REALLY, LJ, what were you thinking when you came up with that?!), but otherwise, don't really care - public is public, and anyone at Facebook/Twitter who doesn't realize I have a livejournal account is seriously not paying attention.

Okay, much to go do now. Dogged Ellen is doggedly doing.

Whew!

Oh yay! I had a surprise (the bad kind of surprise!) $600+ bill from my surgery come in this week, and when I called, they said it had been submitted to insurance incorrectly, but had been re-sent just this morning and I shouldn't need to worry about any of it. So, hopefully, four months later, I'm finally through with those bills. Indeed, I might actually get some back, because I did a co-pay on this particular installment, and that probably wasn't counted against my deductible and out-of-pocket, which were maxed out before I was done with the damned testing.

Anthology proofs are in! And look good! I'm approving them and opening pre-orders! Also available with Zine subscriptions!

If you order all three, US shipping is free, a $17 value! PLUS, the free shipping includes anything else you order at the same time... say, oracle decks, discount calendars or coloring books! The shopping cart is not set up to calculate the free shipping, but I will refund you the shipping charge once you've placed the order.



Pre-orders will be mailed as soon as I get stock. It ships in 10 days (give or take two) and USPS is saying that shipping time is 13 days, but that's just ridiculous, and I don't believe it for a second. I am guessing something closer to a month, maybe even 6 weeks.

Have you guys had a chance to check out the new EMG-Zine site? Like it?? I think it makes browsing an order of magnitude better, and I LOVE the random art feature. Next month, I plan to make gallery and art-viewing improvements.
