FYI: Still plan to have the cozy mystery finished by the 15th. The e-book may be available by then. The print version will probably be another week or so behind.

. . . I think I’ve found my writing motivation!
A client just e-mailed to ask if I can start work on a proofreading project early.
Boy just asked me who Baba Yaga is. So I gave him an abbreviated (and possibly not completely accurate, as I said “Russian” rather than “Slavic”) version, then (being me) went to YouTube and pulled up Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition.
Oooooh. I discovered today that AQS [American Quilter’s Society] takes fiction submissions. “Whether they are mysteries, romances, or humorous tales, books that show how much quilts mean in the lives of others speak to quilters everywhere, and AQS strives to produce the best of these.” (They’re not interested in quilts in science fiction or fantasy, however.)
So how’s your Wednesday treating you?
Interesting tidbit on AQS. Makes it worthwhile to check out other trade magazines in Writer’s Digest.
Not a trade magazine. They publish books.
