Today’s Inbox with the Ideas section on Harry Potter is live now. I’m sure there will be excitement. I know that people were queuing up at midnight last night to read it, but they just had to wait.
I spent much of today talking about the ReadWriteThink calendar. We have to figure out our plans for 2005-2006, which means attempting to figure out every entry that we want to add. It would be more thoughtful of authors to spread their birthdays around a bit. If you are pregnant or considering becoming pregnant, please see to it that your little author is born on a day that is open on the calendar to ensure that the little genius gets covered.
I haven’t had a chance to touch my writing since Sunday. Haven’t even opened a file. Maybe by the time that I get back to it I’ll finally know what’s going on. It’s too late tonight to bother with it. If I’m late to work again, I’m going to be in much trouble. Though probably not as much trouble as poor Mel Fuller in the book I finished last night, The Boy Next Door. It’s a cute romance sort of book, for high-school/adult readers, written entirely in e-mail messages. I need to write up a review for the reviews site, but that’s not happening tonight either. Actually I have a pile of at least a dozen books that I’ve read and need to write about for the review site. Heh. I know. Since the server-side includes aren’t working anyway, you can’t get there; so you’ll not notice that I haven’t written any of these things. Nothing like making technology failure work to your advantage.
