Comments on: My Best Friend http://victormilan.com/blog/2008/05/16/my-best-friend/ Fun, freedom, and adventure with Victor Milán Tue, 07 Oct 2008 16:52:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Sara Harvey http://victormilan.com/blog/2008/05/16/my-best-friend/#comment-596 Sara Harvey Tue, 20 May 2008 00:49:16 +0000 http://victormilan.com/blog/?p=145#comment-596 Regarding the ARC: If I could prevail upon you to set aside any commitments you might have, or dip into some free time (ha!) of yours to check out an advance copy of said novella that might benefit me in the way of a quotable blurb for the cover or inside copy. Feel free to be far too busy with your own life and all. You are a busy guy! But I thought I'd make the offer anyway. ^_^ And I nudged mostly to make sure your email was up and running and not <i>necessarily</i> to garner attention, but I will gather my attention (like my rosebuds) while I can! Thanks for the blog-love! I was in adoration of the name myself and I think there is a novel or two baring the same title. But my subtitle really makes me smile, "Fashionably Late and Historically Accurate"! Prettymuch describes me. ^_^ And I should update that blog more often, as there is now more writing news to share about is, versus my LiveJournal which is primarily silliness of a less professioanl nature. Bank is fixing Matt's issue, two "miskey" errors in a row to the tune of $1400 in their favor, of course. Lucky for Matt, his checking account is padded out much better than mine is and we should have resolution to this latest crisis by Wednesday. My girls have a crate, but somehow <i>under Momma's feet</i> is the preferred safe spot. I am starting my conquest of the entertainment world slowly, having passed the first muster of the local radio station's "Ordinary Listener of the Week" thingie. Matt reminds me that I am far from ordinary and I shall have to work that into my act should I be chosen. Trust me, you will be remain informed!

Bank is fixing Matt’s issue, two “miskey” errors in a row to the tune of $1400 in their favor, of course. Lucky for Matt, his checking account is padded out much better than mine is and we should have resolution to this latest crisis by Wednesday.

Terribly sorry for neglecting to reply about your wonderful news of <strong><a href="http://apexdigest.livejournal.com/109404.html" rel="nofollow">selling a 35,000 word novella</a>!</strong> Megacongrats! And <em>mea mega culpa</em> (hey! If science can mix Latin with Greek, I can too!) on not replying sooner. I've been, whoa!, oversubscribed these last few days. Um ... ARC? Please refresh my memory, here. And I hope Matt gets things squared-away with the bank soon. Or barring that, dreadful retribution. Emma is fortunate to have a large metal cage to repair to, inasmuch as she weighs more than both your dogs together and would likely look even sillier than she already does crammed under a tiny desk. Did I mention congratulations and hooray? Plus I really like Steampunk. Also <strong>"Charmed and Dangerous"</strong> is a seriously wonderful name for a blog; I'll have to revise my link in my blogroll to mention it... It'd make a splendid name for an HBO Comedy Special, too. Start working up your act. Whoa! Terribly sorry for neglecting to reply about your wonderful news of selling a 35,000 word novella!

Guinevere really understands us when we speak to her and can communicate in her own way right back so that we understand what she means. It was pretty exciting to discover that communication could be a two-way street with our dog. Eowyn is not as smart as Guinie, but she has her moments of brilliance and flashes of understanding. Especially when THEIR Daddy uses his special words and blasphemes and whatnot. The bank has done Matt some grievous harm lately and you'd be amazed how well two 40+ pound dogs can fit beneath my tiny laptop desk when he's lost his temper over the phone! Also on that mantra thing, Oprah espoused such in her endorsement of THE SECRET (which I would love to have side by side with the Napoleon Hill book to compare how much the newer version stole from the original!). I do much of the same, but not the same way, and it has really benefited me in the enormous tide of luck that I have happy occasion to ride upon. And speaking of such, did you get my last email about my newest publishing endeavor? The landing of such was one of those feats of serendipity one always hopes for! I also had a question regarding your desire and availability to possibly read over and comment upon an ARC later in this year, your busy schedule permitting of course! Do let me know!
