My rave: Charles Stross has a blog. An intelligent blog mostly about the publishing industry. A blog that backs up everything preached by OHP in depth and detail. He blogs about why he doesn't get to pick his cover images, why he's lucky if his name is on his own book, what he's actually paid and why Amazon and other distributors are real brats, even with big-name presses (mostly following the big Amazon/Macmillan war from earlier this year). His motto is full disclosure. Sound familiar? Check it out: www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/

"Think you that once, upon these paths there walked both fools and angels on errands both foolish and divine, for purpose only, by the Lord's own hand, that we mortals mere be guided and, by nature, misguided, so that our wills would be our own?"

Launa, it's a great blog. I've been reading it for a while. Unlike most writers, it's interesting how he writes more about the industry than he does about his own writing, etc. Some other writers' blogs get tedious after a while when all they can manage is "today I went to get a massage. I am so stressed out that I have to write 30 pages in an entire month." Oh, plueezzz.

Time to decide what kind of world I believe in
The world open wide or the world about to stop breathing
In my world, I'm standing just inside the door
In my world, I'm speaking into the ocean's roar

Time may heal all wounds, but time will steal you blind
Time, the wheel. Time the Conquerer.

It looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor. Abbie may be jealous of Mira's new bike, but I've got a little green monster for Brianne's classic beetle.

I feel so at home! Hi, Maxwell DiMarco! Are you going to post again soon? Do you have a favorite ukulele? Mira

Very true I don't know about showroom, but, she looks a whole lot better. Brianne

Abbie, I used to have a red one. But orange? Wow. Never thought of that color.

Gotta tell you, it makes me want one of my own. And out here, because there's no road salt, you see hundreds of vintage cars in mint condition on the roads. It's awesome.

Thanks, you guys!

I'm repainting this summer... I can't decide on a color though.

Funny thing though... There's a small place on the hood where the paint has chipped away some... So far the bug has been burgandy, orange, and now blue!

Silver, maybe? Teal? Black? Eek! I don't know

Brianne PS... Ignore the redish color outlining the teal. I just changed the color quickly in PhotoShop...
