Re: DOGBLOG: The Math and Manners Cave
Hmm, if it helps, the kids I watch - boys - went through a two-year girls phase, where they each had girlfriends in their individual classes.
There was a good deal of drama when a New Girl came into the 6-year-old boy's class, and like all the other boys, he fell for her. His previous item of adoration handled this well. Before a birthday party, her mom was trying to prepare her for the divided attention, and she sighed and said, "It's okay, Mom. Whenever she's around, it's like I'm not even there."
But I promised good news. The good news is, all the children seem to have moved past this as they entered Higher Levels of Learning. (It's a Montessori crowd.) Now they're normal kids who go "ewww!" when kissing or girl's underwear is mentioned.
Not that girl's underwear is mentioned a lot. It does come up occasionally, though, especially when one uses popular magazines for collage projects....

Re: DOGBLOG: The Math and Manners Cave
Tad, simple question here. Your Anthology that's coming out, does any of the stories contained within pertain to novels you've written?

Perhaps she's trying to tell you that she's like an onion, no you're right, you're doomed, a fate I accepted as soon as the XXs outnumbered the XYs. Daddy can I..Yes, does my bum...No, ooh shiny can I have...Yes. (that goes for both), etc. etc. the path of least resistance is well troden.

Re: DOGBLOG: The Math and Manners Cave
Yes, Stefan, there's an OTHERLAND story ("The Happiest Dead Boy in the World" and a SHADOWMARCH story, "A Tale from the Book of Regret", which is also still available here on the website, I think.
My Osten Ard story from the first Legends anthology isn't in RITE, because my publishers would prefer me to hold onto it for when we do the Osten Ard anthology.

Re: DOGBLOG: The Math and Manners Cave
If it's RITE you're talking about, I still have the page-proofs, so until I send them back, they obviously can't start publishing them.
Actually, I think it's scheduled for autumn.
But you can probably find out at the Subterranean Press site. I just saw the cover painting, by the way. It looks great. It's one of those lots-of-elements-from-the-book, but really nicely done, including a prominent placement of Durer's rhinocerous, which I featured in a unicorn anthology story.

Re: DOGBLOG: The Math and Manners Cave
Ah ha, so it's all your fault again, and your bold as brass to admit it!
Autumn, I should have finished of Norrell and Strange by then, at about 10 pages a week.

Re: DOGBLOG: The Math and Manners Cave
autumn sounds so much better than fall.
if you had to wait for it until fall, it wouldnīt be half as great, i am sure.
and you canīt say autumnal with fall, can you?

Re: DOGBLOG: The Math and Manners Cave
Libra, if I'd known a bit earlier, I could have ordered you one too. If you really want to I still can, but they'll probably charge $20 shipping costs...

Re: DOGBLOG: The Math and Manners Cave
I'm working on all kinds of things. Having fun with DRAGONS OF ORDINARY FARM rewrite, and tons of fun resurrecting old DC super-characters for THE FACTORY. I just sent a begging email for the publisher asking for a particular character to use and abuse (plus a few other more minor characters), and he wrote back, "Merry Xmas! And you can have the telepath, too."
Now where else but in my business can you get emails like that as part of your job. Well, I suppose the gaming industry.
Paid adult money to think like a kid. Is this a great space/time continuum, or what?

Re: DOGBLOG: The Math and Manners Cave
Telepath could mean a lot of DC Characters. You are a good at teasing! Unfair!

Can I have the telepath when you're done? I promise I'll take good care of it. :D

Re: DOGBLOG: The Math and Manners Cave
I think this particular telepath will be pretty well trashed by the time I get done with him/her.
Stefan, trust me, unless you are the biggest, most obsessive DC geek in the universe, you won't know/remember THAT particular telepath.
The other one I'm featuring heavily, yes. But not that one.
Kids wore me down like an old fan belt this holiday weekend. Very overstimulated -- they had two sleepovers, one home, one away -- and LOUD. I was just a human wince by the time they finally got quiet last night.
No mute button on kids. Except yelling "shut up!", which I try not to do very often.
Oy, my head...
