I received the contract for "The Wood and the Brass" Saturday. I'll send it off today.
The contract I received for "I Dream of Strawberries" was very, well, I suppose "user-friendly" is a good term. There were two sections of this contract that Rice and I couldn't decipher. We sent a scan to my FIL (who used to be a booking agent for bands). He explained it to us and I had one of those lovely "oh duh!" moments. My FIL also offered to talk to a man he knows who self-published a book to get advice for me. Thankfully, we were on the phone so I could smile when I said, "That would be nice. Thank you." It's nice of him to try to help.
I also received my first crit for my new writing group. It was a really good critique. I think this group has a lot of potential. I hope to learn a great deal from the other members.
As for today, I have a crit to write for Critters and my own writing to get to. I've also been reading Cannery Row. Steinbeck is one of those writers who makes me cry. (China Mieville being another.) I can hope that someday, when I'm old and gray, that I may approximate their brilliance.
