I got the e-mail from Imagestation. I hope I'll be back in time to scoot my albums over to somewhere or other. Bean sent me a letter that discussed some of the new shit, which I've been perusing--I may even get a bit of it, since Summer could easily fall into the vaguely-hippie vibe. (Summer, for the record, also has a pen pal in Africa now. I may not get an actual doll to make African, but dammit I'm gonna do something.) And bonus points to Childthursday.
The Nano novel is fascinating me, since for some reason temporal castaways have become a motif while I'm here--there's my own out-of-touch-ness, your novel, a Poul Anderson short story where I found the term "temporal castaway" (god, I'm book-starved), and my iPod, which has begun playing James Taylor's weirdly poignant "Frozen Man" every chance it gets. ("My name is William James McPhee, I was born in 1843, hidden in ice for a century to walk the world again--Lord have mercy on the Frozen Man!") So I've been reading it with interest, and am hoping you'll post the entire thing at some point!
