Goodness... all that reading, writing, etc.

I thought you were on vacation. Good show, Cate.

Good on you, Cate. Nice to have you back. ;-)

Awesome pic, Cate! Glad you had a nice break!

I think we all know that reading and writing are essential ingredients for ensuring a holiday is fun, Aaron :D

Good to be back, Simon. I missed the internet so much.

Thanks, Lee.

Wowza! That sounds like a relaxing, exciting, *and* productive holiday. Glad you had a good time. :-)

It was. Although, now I need another holiday :D

It sounds like you had a wonderful time! I've never been to Wales. I didn't know it got sunny there. I always picture it as misty all the time.

Good to have you back, Cate.

Usually it rains, Kate.

I believe you went somewhere slightly more exotic, Deborah.

Gosh, it sounds like a super-productive AND super-gorgeous vacation. I would SO love to visit Wales, it's very high on my list. And the list is long, oh yeah.

So much reading... I need a vacation. A READING VACATION.

Good on yer, Catre. Freedom sounds... interesting. Might look into this one,e. Although at the moment I'm helped by the laptop I write on having lousy Wifi access. Just stick it downstairs in the kitchen and it won't detect a damn thing. :

I'm still not sold on freedom. Or, more precisely, I'm still not courageous enough to try it. :-P

Good luck with the edits/revisions/etc once she settles a bit.

Unfortunately my kitchen is like WiFi central, Simon. In fact, I suspect I'm an actual internet router and not a person at all.

Wimp, Anthony. Although, if you don't find the internet a distraction when writing then you don't need it.

Hey man, whatever it takes, I say! If it gets me more goodness to read, I am allllll for it.

I think that when it comes to writing short fiction I should use it. For some reason I bury myself in novels, but the short stuff makes me feel a bit like a ping pong ball. Hm, something to consider...

Good luck with your stew! : )

I'd have to actually be *writing* to get distracted from it. ;-P

A ping pong ball is an excellent description, Katey

I think the potatoes are hard, Natalie

:O Anthony

Alvin & the Chipmunks, the horror!!

Yours are always some of the best titles around, Cate -- only to be rivaled by Simon Kewin's.

No, no, your titles are much better! I love that one; it's a mini-poem in itself.

You're both great at titles, I alwya want to read the stories when I hear them. The Ghosts of Folding Time? Three Miraculous Homunculi? Awesome titles.

Names are so hard, I've spent half an hour or more trying to find them!

Finding the right name for a character can be painful, but it's gold when you finally discover it.

I know, Mike. Trust me, I know.

Thanks, Milo.

No way, Simon. As Deborah said - Three Miraculous Homunculi

Thanks, Deborah

And so important, Natalie

True, Danielle

Your titles are some of the best around, Cate (as are the stories of course!). Seriously though, i don't know how you do it, but they are catchy, creepy, insane, and beautiful.

Thanks, Tony.

I'm sure there is a market for story title services. Just sayin'

I wish.

It IS a beautiful name, both for a woman and a story. I have to go through several character names sometimes. If they're not quite formed yet, sometimes they change for the name, but more often it's a gamut... mini-gamut, anyhow, that wants run.
