Momentarily speechless (yes, it happens once in a long while)

Cut from email sent to me by my long-suffering DAW editor:

Jody’s painting looks great. Did we send you an image? I can’t remember.

*waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaail*

The perceptive reader will now have guessed what the answer to her question is.

It's for the first book of House War, I believe.

It is, indeed the first book, to House War. The rest of the email pertained to the as yet untitled volume. As in, it can't stay untitled, so now I'm wearing the boards in the dining room down to thin grooves while I try to come up with a title.

It is not my favourite thing to do, in much the same way that sucking raw lemons is not my favourite thing to do -- I'm not very good at either, and they make me make very strange faces.

Hmm... Lemme think? ;)

I'm sure it's gorgeous. Jody Lee's covers for the Daw books are fabulous. (Like I said, the reason why I first picked up The Broken Crown was because of that lovely blue cover.)

Well, I'm sure they'll send you a preview at some point, and we'll get to buy it when it comes, so just be patient ^^.

Kith and I read this last night and had a really good chuckle over the subject line.

Kith and I read this last night and had a really good chuckle over the subject line.

This would be because you've been subject to too much of me in person. And obviously, the fact that you just posted this means you don't think you'll be seeing me in person for a very long time, hmmm? (Kith, if you're reading this, hit him)

[bobafet.livejournal.com]

Hahaha.

Well, I haven't been to the store in months. Though, I've just recently found the Bakka LJ which is nice. I sort of wish that someone had mentioned it when it started up though, hint hint.
