The city of Hartford from the slopes of Prospect Hill, in Elizabeth Park. 4 miles this morning, of which I ran maybe 2 3/4. It was a nice cool moist morning, and once I slowed down for a breather, I started just enjoying the walk.

The first review of Seven for a Secret is in, from Green Man Review.

And now I have to go file my copy for Tor. 'scuse please.

u skeered me with that title.

But that's a great picture. I never realized you could get that view from Elizabeth Park.

I suspect that's why they call it "Prospect hill." And Prospect Street too, come to think of it.

Ah home. I was born in Hartford and spent my first 6 years of life in Rockyhill before my family moved to Phoenix, Arizona and I just can't seem to call anyplace home that doesn't have a true winter. Now I'm in Portland, Oregon and gleefully looking forward to winter but nothing compares to a New England winter for beauty.

And now you have random notations about my life.

This review made me want even more to read the book. Aaaugh! Want, want!

Something he said has stuck like a fishhook in my brain, though, and it's got me wondering. He was talking about "genre conventions." Somehow I can't see you sitting around worrying about whether you're fitting in with "genre conventions." Is that something you even think about? Do you feel constrained, perhaps that publishers have certain expectations for a specific genre? I have been so interested to read what you say about writing; it has really made me more aware of how much goes into the process.

Um.

I actually go out of my way to try and subvert them.

Ah well. I suppose I could go knit a mitten while I'm waiting.
