I'm back from the wilds of Alaska, back to ... *looks out window* the other wilds of Alaska. But at least these wilds have DSL! And, OMG, my inbox is bulging. It's so hilarious ... I almost never get unsolicited business emails (that I actually want) and, naturally, as soon as I leave, they're exploding -- a publisher wants to reprint one of my articles (and pay me for it!), there's a distributor interested in my books, a writer friend wants me to beta something for her, my day job has gone completely nuts, and of course there's a million billion LJ comment notifications, not to mention the edits on the Big Bang story ... HALP.

Of course, what I'm doing RIGHT NOW is downloading Seed, naturally. ^_^

I'll be slowly working my way through various emails and comments, so if I haven't replied to you and you're wondering what happened, please be patient ... I'm getting there.
