- 19:03 @smoemeth There there. I'm sure it will wear off soon. (Meanwhile, send me some of that frittata!) #
- 19:07 @smoemeth OK, we're doing brunch. #
- 19:16 @wojsvenwoj Well, I -have- known her since she was born, so yeah. I know what she calls "morning" is everyone else's "late afternoon." #
- 20:41 @smoemeth AAARRRGHHH! I NEED to see this! But how? #
- 20:49 @smoemeth I need a miracle. Or a $10 airfare. #
- 20:56 @smoemeth Not really. But you never know. #
- 09:11 @innaj I love the morning light. Hate the way I feel when I'm up to see it. :P Though in winter, that's less of an issue. #
- 09:13 @bethmeacham You and Janni had a Sleep Swap! (it's like a cookie swap, but without the calories) #
- 09:16 Tell @SenatorReid: Don't let them filibuster the public option. bit.ly/5RrESq #

Aaaannnnd, by popular request, I'm having the Great Annual Mentoring Special Sale. Book for yourself, book for friends or family--bookings are transferable; just let me know who's getting yours. Not sure what to get your NaNo-participating BFF? Here's a chance to get the ms. read and evaluated by a Trained Professional On Closed Course. Here's the deal: Four hours for $150 (normal rate is $40/hour). This is enough time for a structural read of a NaNo-length ms., and possibly some line edits. It's also plenty of time for work on short stories, portions of novels, queries/synopses, R&D (plotting, outlining, brainstorming), and any other writing-related occupation you might think of. It's all about you; we work together to tailor your sessions to your personal needs. I take advance bookings--if your ms. is not quite ready yet, I will bank the hours for you. Previous and present clients, as always, may take advantage of the sale.
Sale runs through December 15th. Feel free to cross-post; tell people to refer to this post when they get in touch. Questions? Bookings? Email me at capriole at-symbol gmail dot com.
Happy Holidays!
- 20:50 @leahkcat Silly wabbit. That's not for drinking. That's for making Eggnog Muffins! www.recipezaar.com/eggnog-muffins-373643 #
- 20:50 @leahkcat BUT the online version has a typo--oven 400 NOT 450! #
- 21:04 By the time you've put all that rum in, all the eggnog is doing is making a matrix for it to float in. Two of those can give you a buzz. 8) #

- 13:37 @innaj Just a warning via "@Publicspaceslab." Is why I didn't RT--it wasn't verified. One should be wary of all clicky links in any case. #

- 21:27 @leahkcat My friends all have Porsches, I must make amends: O Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz? #
- 21:28 @tcastleb So go for an anthology instead? #
- 21:30 @smoemeth Ahhhh, Bridgeport. That brings back memories. (I continue to be convinced that these kids don't believe their own shtick.) #
- 21:35 @leahkcat That's Janis Joplin's friends, not mine. You've never heard "O Lord, Won't You Buy Me a Mercedes Benz"? #
- 21:42 @leahkcat Clearly you must expand your musical horizons. ;> #
- 21:47 @leahkcat You'll like Janis if you like those guys. :) #
- 12:11 @smoemeth Love the jerk in comments who said he'd do all that AND sue, and he's a lawyer! Wanker prime, there. #

- 18:46 @idiomagic POLO! (and the pony you rode in on) #
- 18:48 ,@ceffyl1 Stayed in Tucson for Capria-canter in the gale. Ended up in Emerald City (Green Valley--close enough). #
- 19:18 @smoemeth Did you do the cheesecake? (We had prime rib.) #
- 20:57 @smoemeth Do the chicken recipe with the salsa verde, but use turkey. Dead easy. #
- 10:18 Happily staying home with book and critters. And how is YOUR International Buy Nothing Day? #
- 12:18 @700stories You are a good cousin. I hope she listens and thinks about what you say. #

- 10:39 Yow, it's blowing up a gale. Ride should be interesting. I shall be thankful Capria is long and low to the ground. #
- 11:33 @innaj I see so much overediting among my clients that while I deeply believe in revision and rewriting...they need to hear this. For now. #
- 11:35 @innaj I don't think he's talking to the for-funners. He's talking to the ones who back off, with excuses, after claiming to WANT to submit. #
- 11:36 Out to ride in the gale. Next tweet could be from Oz. #
( Pretty! )
We are working on the text to go with the pretty cover. There will be numerous e-formats. No print edition planned for now, but we'll see. It's all part of the grand experiment. Watch the skies, and Book View Cafe. There will be a free teaser chapter when the book is ready to go live.

And of course there is a Horseblog. This week we're talking about "Doctoring the Equines, or, how to treat various equine ailments in non-Western-technological ways.
While you're at it, don't forget the Wind in Cairo sale. Details here. Just one week left to take advantage of the sale!
Btw if you or your gift list would prefer the e-version, it's available as a PDF download on the site. I have listened to you and will be working on getting other formats up there--those would be available through Book View Cafe. Watch this space.
We have lots of other plans, too. 2010 will be a good year for Cool Stuff From Dancinghorse.
- 18:12 @patinagle I saw her blog the other day. Remember when that used to be high midlist? #
- 14:19 @wojsvenwoj All right, all right. I melted my banana. Now what? #

- 11:58 RT @FakeAPStylebook "Awesome" implies feelings of reverence or fear. Great Cthulhu is awesome, as is the latest Taylor Swift single. #
- 18:58 @innaj I'm starting to mind it a bit myself. For one thing I can't even use it. It just sits there. #
Interested? Email me at capriole at gmail dot com. Likewise if you're contemplating a Camp later in the year. We have openings in March and possibly April, and in the fall starting in October. Hot-weather dates are possible, but there's a warning label on those--this is southern Arizona and temperatures get into the triple digits Fahrenheit. Still, we're game if you are.
In other news, the sale on A Wind in Cairo continues through the 1st. And I have a story coming out on the 1st, too--Amazon already has the book available for order: Changing the World: All-New Tales of Valdemar.
