So! News! If you’ve liked my Facebook page (or if you follow me on Twitter), then you know that I received the proof copy of my poetry anthology, Tuesday Daydreams: A Journal in Verse, the other day. I was disappointed to find some errors in it, but I took the opportunity to make a couple of formatting changes and now I think it looks great. Another proof copy will soon be winging its way toward me and I can’t wait to look it over. Tuesday Daydreams should be available for purchase by the end of the month!
I’m terribly excited, in case you couldn’t tell. 🙂
In other news, my friend Lisa just finished up a promotion for her novel, Cheyenne, in honor of a new cover design. Even though it’s no longer free, please click through and check it out. At $2.99, it’s still a world-class bargain and a great book to boot. Go on, check it out! You know you want to.
And that’s about all the news that’s fit to print today, I think. Conferences tonight will cap off a crazy week for me; hopefully tomorrow (TGIF, y’all!) will be a nice, peaceful day with no major hassles. I plan to spend this weekend recovering from my week and maybe working on my synopsis for The Lokana Chronicles if I can find a few spare minutes. I’m still collecting submission possibilities; I’d like to start submitting before summer. I’m still keeping my fingers crossed about the Dundee International Book Prize, but I’m trying not to think about it too much lest I go crazy with the hoping.

After catching up on a few news stories this morning, I thought I’d take the time to jot down a few thoughts on the recent Rush Limbaugh flap. For anyone still living under a rock (possibly a rock on Mars, which is where Seymour occasionally accuses me of having grown up), he called Georgetown University student Sandra Fluke a slut after her Congressional testimony in support of the contraception coverage requirement. He was then forced to issue an apology, at least part of which (I didn’t visit his website, so I have no idea if this is the entire statement or just a portion of it) I read here this morning:
For over 20 years, I have illustrated the absurd with absurdity, three hours a day, five days a week. In this instance, I chose the wrong words in my analogy of the situation. I did not mean a personal attack on Ms. Fluke.
I think it is absolutely absurd that during these very serious political times, we are discussing personal sexual recreational activities before members of Congress. I personally do not agree that American citizens should pay for these social activities. What happened to personal responsibility and accountability? Where do we draw the line? …
My choice of words was not the best, and in the attempt to be humorous, I created a national stir. I sincerely apologize to Ms. Fluke for the insulting word choices.”
Suddenly they all died. The end.
