Sorry I've been gone so long! I needed to re-sign in and I kept being too lazy to look up my password
Woohoo! Congrats! And congrats to all the other great things that happened in my absence. And sympathies for the bad stuff.
So cool! I hope you're enjoying it!
Our author group has set up a Zoom meeting each Thursday evening, with excerpts up on googledocs for leaving comments. It worked really well this week.
I'm working from home. Our foundry is in PA, and not considered essential (iron foundry makes car parts), and several of our major customers, GM, Honda, Toyota - all closed down for the duration or at least not making cars (some are regearing for making ventilators). Luckily, I'm management so can work from home without much issue.
I had just purchased tickets and B&B reservations for our May Ireland vacation at the end of February. That's postponed, obviously. I do lots of art shows in the summer, but I had not applied to the ones in May as a result - they've been cancelled or postponed. My next one is in June, which is 'monitoring the situation' at the moment.
No one sick here, other than seasonal allergies. I live in NY state, so we are on 'stay at home' but not 'shelter in place.' We have done a few supply runs for an elderly author friend of mine who doesn't drive, only walks with difficulty due to a stroke, and is pretty terrified of going out right now. He's a recluse anyhow, so he's happy to stay in his apartment.
I'm writing, but in spits and starts. The stress is keeping me from my normal magnificent flow. I think it's also because I have too much time. I work best under time stress. Go figure.
I hope everyone stays healthy and safe.
Give ‘em, hell, Ted!
I forgot to tell y’all, I sold a story! My first sale in three years (novel writing, querying, and school kept me from short stories). It’s The Bar at the End of Whenever, at Nature Futures. It’s flash, too, so it’s a nice, short read. Go check it out!
Next I need to go update my sig.

Currently reading greendragon's Time Tourist Outfitters LTD, as it happens.

LadyV, I've heard talk of a few online groups that are doing facetalk and other things to play board games online. Have you found any of them?
