Just a quick note

[msagara]

I'm still alive, I have turned in the third CAST novel, and I am -- some 3 days later -- looking at a revision letter. Since I'm accustomed to months between the first event and the second, I'm slightly dazed.

Quickly: I discovered John Terpstra; he's been publishing poetry for a while, but clearly, I haven't been paying attention. A quick thank you to kristenb615 for Carol Ann Duffy as well.

The last two hundred pages of Ilario by Mary Gentle were perfect. Just ... perfect. If you like Guy Kay, it's that kind of perfect ending.

I'm at work. I'm caught up with everything but -- as it turns out -- revisions, and in theory have time to be more or less normal for a bit.

Yay! I hope you had a lovely Christmas/New Year.

You beat my record. I once had revisions come back in a week.

And I had sooo wanted the time off.

I hope you enjoyed the holidays!

Glad to see you posting! Hope you enjoyed the holidays and had a great New Year.

(And, uh, yay for third Cast novel? Well, I'm celebrating anyway since I can't wait to read it.)

-stares- How'd you manage a 3 day turnaround? Was the manuscript late coming in? That's the only way I've ever gotten quick turnarounds. *boggles*

Er. What I really mean to say is YAY THIRD CAST BOOK! But I got distracted by the turnaround. O.O :) YAY! :)

And I can see I'm going to have to read ILARIO. Cool. Thanks. :)

Could you please explain this thing to me? ;-)

Hooray! I shall eventually get to read the third CAST novel!

(Commiserations to you on not getting a longer break between the submission and the congratulations-now-let's-fix-it from your adoring editor.)

Hope you had a wonderful holiday season! Looking forward to the third CAST novel! Good luck with the revisions, too.

Perhaps there wasn't too much to revise,? I guess it helps to have a little time to distance oneself from the revision, all the same.

Glad to hear the good news. Hope you and your family are all recovering from a great holiday. I look forward to all your work (ya think?).

Wait, wait, wait... Sheila sent you a revision letter THREE DAYS after you turned in the manuscript? THREE DAYS? ::Steve clutches chest, falls over::

Congratulations on completing CAST IN NETS (that's the title, right?)!!!

Happy 2007!

I didn't see this come up when it was posted. Strange. Sometimes my cache eats new stuff and I never see it . . .

congrats on finishing! I'm jealous!

Since I don't like Guy Kay's books much, why should I read the new Mary Gentle novel, then?

Does happy dance. Your cast books are my favorite books EVER! Okay that's a bit dramatic but hey I love Lord Nightshade, can you hear my little heart pitter-patter? And Severn??? If I was in that world I'd be known as the girl that got around!

Can't Wait!!!

I just discover the first Cast novel yesterday and loved it so much I picked the other one up today and I just finished it. They're so great, I can't wait to get my hands on this next one :)

I have just finished, 5 min ago, CAST IN COURTLIGHT and I am so sorry I Have to wait until August to read CAST IN SECRET which is already in preorder. Thank you for creating such a wonderful universe, I wanted to read the end but didn't want it to be over.

Thank God the Third CAST novel is coming out soon. The CAST books were an accidental find, and I loved them, Cast in Shadow and Cast in Courtlight are falling apart because I read them so much. They've been such an inspiration to me in my writing.
