So your book is coming out in less than a year. Hurray! What do you do now?
A. Panic!
B. Nothing. You know your publisher will make your book a bestseller.
C. Get organized and get busy!
If you picked A, I hope you finish the Panic stage soon and move to something more productive:>) If you picked B, then (sorry to be rude), you're misinformed about how the publishing industry works! If you picked C, you're on the right track. And here's something to help.

What's that old Chinese curse? "May you live in interesting times."? Yup, well, I'm livin' it. Life at Casa Bayrock has certainly qualified this past week. Parts of town have been under an official "State of Emergency" declaration due to extreme flooding and landslides. Our house and property have been fine, but our phone service (and internet...ack!) was out for several days, and getting up and down the mountain to go to town has been interesting (there's that word again!), as one way was blocked by landslides and the other was limited to one lane when the outside lane slid 3' down the mountainside. Interesting, indeed.
But phone service is back, road passage is stable, so we're thankful we're not wading through 3' of water, or having to contemplate how to rebuild things destroyed by landslide, as some folks are.
