Halfway There

[jpskewedthrone]

So, I'm halfway through the grading of the finals, and would be further along . . . if the students had taken the final yet. *grin* I give the third final tomorrow, and the last on Tuesday. So I'm all caught up at the moment. To celebrate, I finally got a chance to plant some of the plants I've bought over the last few weeks. So I've got the following planted on the roof: sweet corn, peas, tomatoes (two varieties so far), watermelon, cucumber, and spagetti squash. I also planted a bunch of flowers, including Dahlias. We'll see how they do.

In other news, mikandra has set up a new community called query_eagles where you can post queries or hooks and get feedback from other writers about whether it's doing what you think it's doing. Go! Check it out! Join and post a query before you send it out to that agent/editor!

And lastly, coming up this week are the following events related to my books:

Signing at the Binghamton University campus bookstore on May 14th! Stop by and see me at the bookstore from noon to 3pm. This means you! And:

Binghamton alumni Meet and Greet at Antonio's in Endicott from 5:30-?? on May 14th. I can't remember when it's supposed to end. There will be books available to buy at the event, and of course I'll sign them. Getting there early so the signature is legible may be a good idea, since Antonio's has a bar. *grin*

And after that, I'll be attending Balticon at the end of the month. More on that later, so stay tuned. There should be more posts now that school is winding down.

Thanks for advertising.

I've seen (and written!) so many queries that make absolutely NO sense whatsoever that I thought it would be a good idea to offer a place where people can run their concoctions past a few critical eyes to iron out the most obvious bloopers.

Anyone is welcome to join.

I stopped by and made comments on the first two posted. I may get a chance to look at some others later on.
