Well said

What a great piece.

What a way to start the New Year!

Pop open the champagne: another of my authors has just been published! (Though be forewarned: this title is definitely not for young'uns.) 

Leal's ambitious manuscript was one of my most challenging jobs yet, so I am extremely awed at the talent and perseverance it took to write it. I'll let him announce it in his own words:

"After more than six years of non-linear effort, I am happy to announce that my first novel Constellations and Microclimates is finally published. It became available for download on the Amazon Kindle store this morning.

Also, I have spent the better part of a year curating a personal website in anticipation of this day. Please have a look."

Congratulations, Leal!

Well suited

This is one of those experiments when you're validated in your hypothesis . . . but it's also kind of sad to be proven right, no? 

When I have little daydreams of becoming a politician or daily power-suit-wearing person, I imagine myself wearing the same suit every day and just switching up the blouses--like men do! Actually, I kind of did that exact thing when I had to travel for work for my old job and be at meetings in business attire: just wearing my one trusty suit (worn for every job interview since I started job interviewing) sure made life easier . . . and cheaper.

Kickstarting the magic

One of my authors (and friends!) Jules Gissler has started a Kickstarter campaign for her new book, Jules . . . Getting Your Magic Back.

Read and watch all about it here, and consider becoming one of her backers!

Very proud of you, Jules!

Fancy dress in the U.S.

After being a Trekkie last Halloween, here are the costumes I'm considering for this one:

- Lucille Ball
- Carmen Sandiego
- Pippi Longstocking
- a mermaid
- a Greek goddess
- Daria and Jane (couple's costume!)
- Daft Punk (couple's costume, take II)
- a Single Lady
- Tintin
- Little Edie
- Alice in Wonderland
- Queen of Hearts
- the Morton Salt girl (Coincidentally, I just found out it's her 100th birthday!)
- Little Red Riding Hood

And if any of my readers (i.e. my sisters) want tips or costume pieces for any of these, I'm your woman.

Treatedly,
L'Editrice

P.S. I wrote this post months ago, and finally decided it was no longer an absurd time to publish it.
