Came across this looking for something else and decided to put it up in the excerpts section of the ORU website. There's so many bits like this! Many of them no longer fit in the timeline of the published works or have been excluded for other reasons. Guess they are like out takes in a movie. Labels: Amel, Creative History
Insight from editor Richard Janzen
I hope that your work on your next book is going well. I know you and This comment from ORU editor Richard Janzen struck a resonance with me, as I take a deep breath and face tackling book 7. Miss Alison. Grateful for the support of Brian Hades, Justyn Perry, Marie Bilodeau and Lynn Perkins on the publishing front. Paul Strickland recently volunteered to help with profiles of first expansion and other "connected" people for Bridges in June 2009. Krysia Anderson gave me a nice surprise last night, when I got home from a long day of wrestling with ergonomic problems at work, by engaging in discussion of her short story in progress for anthology 4. And I read a bit of the post-wedding scene that book 7 starts with, in which Sam O'Pearl is contratulating herself on pulling off a trick event-of-the-century ... just before Eler starts a brawl.

I had a very nice birthday yesterday. Took the day off (on overtime) from work, and puttered at plotting and bits and scenes in books 7, 8, 9 and 10. David took me to lunch. Jennifer called and so did my sister, Holly. After school, Tegan, Angela, Mel and 'friend' Holly came to my den to present me with a birthday song, one of Angela's handmade cards, a candle to blow out and an ORU cartoon card Mel had created for me.

Hard to believe it is over a month, now, since we had my eldest daughter and fellow writer Jennifer home with us for a week after Xmas. David took this picture of her 'in her element' as he called it, as she read off her laptop to us, her siblings and the good friends who gathered to hear the next installment of her Drescopatia saga. Jennifer blogs at: Rocketdust and Glorious Mud. Labels: Jennifer Lott Friday, February 06, 2009
