No, I’m not sending this from the Alps. Right about now I should be climbing up some mountain, singing songs from The Sound of Music because how could you not in that environment? It might just be required.
Anyway, because I care about you and your ability to win swag from me, I took [...]
Okay, we’re all set. The FAT CAT contest and giveaway will take place from September 28 through October 6, and will be hosted, judged, and otherwise presided over by Lady T of Living Read Girl. To enter the contest, please go to her website beginning September 28, and she’ll take it from there!

Actually, these posts by Kristine Kathryn Rusch are for writers and other freelancers, but I assume other freelancers are reading other blogs, so we’ll just stick to the writer part of these.
Check out Kris’s latest post, on overcoming emotional setbacks. Do you see yourself in some of those examples? I sure do.

Enjoy!

(Can I just say how absolutely weird it is to hear someone else read the book that’s been in your head all this time? The actress, Kirsten Potter, does such a great job! But it’s still weird, weird, weird.)
