Did some last-minute tooling on The Jacaranda Smile, fixing the one part of it I frankly had my doubts about, mainly because it incorporated information told me in confidence. This brings the word-count back up above 7,000 again, but screw it: [livejournal.com profile] agincourtgirl seems to think it's one of the best things I've done, and so do I. Better yet, it's gotten the stuff it's about--not OUT of me, no, since it will be part of me until I die. But it's finally put it somewhere safe, accessible yet shrink-wrapped, in a sort of mental/emotional storage. That in itself is worth the effort.

Anyway: Heard from Sandra Kasturi about the Loonie Dreadful of Every Angel, which will be available as of Friday; I'll be getting twenty copies via Brett Savory and selling them (oddly enough) for $1.00 each, probably out the back of my ever-present rolling piece of school-days luggage, while at Festival of Fear. I'll also have copies of Kissing Carrion and The Worm in Every Heart, which I'll be selling for a conventions-only rate of $15.00 each.

So c'mon down to the Metro Toronto Convention Centre and look for the tired-looking buxom chick with glasses hanging around the HWA table, talking to Sephera Giron et al. I'm there, I'll be around, but I won't have much idea of my actual schedule until I pick it up on Friday...yes, strange, I know. Still, there you have it.

In other news, Cal somehow managed to A) get hold of (two!) paperclips and B) shove them both into my disk-drive. I got one out, along with the CD that was already in there--the other is lodged there yet, preventing me from putting anything back in. But this ain't a problem I can solve anytime soon.

And how nice was it to see [livejournal.com profile] agincourtgirl slip back into our weekly routine today? Very nice indeed. She's utterly energized and transformed by love...the absolute best side-effect that crazy alchemical process can have. Cal, though toothy, was obviously just as happy to re-greet her. Sometimes I think about how she and my Mom are obviously far more constant presences in his life than I am, and feel a bit sad that that fact doesn't bother me more. But I gotta be me, and I know this much for sure: If I ever had to be at home with him 24/7 again, beautiful little freak that he is, I'd probably end up shooting myself right in the head.;)

And on that note...bed.
