storytelling

I read this line someplace, and I can't remember where. But you know what? I do have a recurring dream about flying. In it I realize that I've always been able to levitate and move around the room in an upright position, two feet off the ground. All I have to do it breathe deep and flap my hands very fast. In the dream I remember I can do this and then experiment with it, flying farther with each try. Always inside, just moving around the house.

And I'm so pleased to be able to do this, as if I am discovering a talent I didn't know I had. I have perfect pitch!?! Wow. I can fly! Who knew?

I'm sure a therapist would have a grand time with this. It's pretty transparent to me but I'm sure I'm missing something obvious anyway.

when it didn't come yesterday, I thought maybe I had ducked the bullet. But here is it:

Hi, keep checking your site to see if there's an update of queen of swords. now that it's december, just wondering if you have delivered it to bantam, and when expected release date will be, and when it will be available in australia.

I'm working hard here. Really, I am. I plan to have the darn ms. to Bantam by the 31st of the month. After that, it's up to them and I don't have any more idea than you do of dates. Really. When I know, you'll know.

It's great that people are so looking forward to this book, really. I'm pleased. But believe me, I know what day it is.
