An inch, a mile.
So: a bump in the road:
No. 15, “Frail,” will not begin its online run as previously boasted on August 22nd. It is instead being delayed a week, to premiere Monday, August 29th, and even then I gotta tell you I’m nervous, jittery, out of sorts. —Why? Oh, I could tell you why: life, mostly. And it took a while to figure out what this one was about. (I knew what had to happen, but that wasn’t of much use at all.) (Oh and yes what it’s ostensibly about is obvious enough, which makes the delay the more ironical, but that doesn’t help me figure out where to point this scene, or that exchange.)
You might have noticed the utter lack of Twitter numbers, if ever you noticed their presence. That’s usually a sign. (5,310 as of: now.) (Yes, the target is 15,000.) (And look! There’s the jitter, the nerves, and yonder the sorts from which I’ve been cast out.) —The snappish temper, the crabby growling, the clatter of keys followed by swallowed curses: these are all signs, too. (And oh, yes: the irony. In all its Morissettey glory.)
While waiting, you might consider letting others know about “Wake up…”, if you hadn’t already? (The requisite round-up: Amazon, CreateSpace, B&N, Smashwords, Lulu, LibraryThing, Goodreads, Shelfari.)
And just hope with me most fervently that “Plenty” will restore to us all the years that the locust hath eaten—
