My technonerdboy hero!

DateTuesday, June 13, 2006 at 4:01PM
Our new barbecue!


Above: my technonerdboy hero husband as he uses our barbecue for the first time.

Writing's been going well since I got back. The combination of sending off my manuscript and the hills of Tuscany seems to have really jumpstarted my productivity. In addition to my nonfiction writing, I should have another novel finished by the end of next month (a shorter one for younger readers, plus a pitch for a book series) and one finished by September. Both are very different in content and style, so I've been able to work on them at the same time.

The main point of today's blather, however, is to offer huge thanks to Jeff for figuring out what my e-mail problem was. Turns out that because of a server move/upgrade, any mail sent to my main e-mail address for the past week was being queued up on another server instead of being sent to me. Jeff figured this out PLUS helped me access it before the server problem was fixed. I'm now plowing through 500 unread e-mails, including messages from editors and potential clients. :-(

I only knew there was a problem for sure when Erin responded by Gmail to my Blathering saying that yes, she had sent me e-mail to which I hadn't responded. I looked for her e-mail, couldn't find it. I also couldn't find e-mails from my friends John and Kristen confirming dinner arrangements for tonight. The frustrating thing was that some e-mails were getting through so I didn't clue into the fact that most weren't; I just didn't realize that the ones getting through were being sent to my electricpenguin.com address.

Anyway, if I haven't responded to an e-mail you sent in the past week...thanks for your patience while I catch up.
