Two months' worth of post...

I'm still jet-lagged and sniffling, but I can think again. If slowly.

The Envelope Of Doom did indeed contain a form rejection from Tor. This is actually a good thing, in that I can now get on with sending it somewhere else, instead of spending several years wondering if it was eaten by the Slushpile Of Doom. At least two people on my flist are currently in this position [waves]. Pinging metaforgirl - the pile of post also contained my CD and royalty check for "Counting the Ways". Signed hard copies of contracts for Ship to Shore and First Footer arrived safely from Loose Id, so I think all the writing-related snail mail that I was expecting has arrived. Massive filing session is now in progress.

Speaking of which, it took me all day to transfer two months' worth of emails from laptop to desktop. Don't ask. I'm going to organise things a bit better next time. Except I said that last time... I'm now working through getting stuff transferred into my accounts book, my submissions database, etc. It really didn't help that for the last month or so my net access has actually been split between two machies, one not belonging to me, so not all my files are where they really ought to be. Hopefully I'll have caught up with all this stuff tomoorow and will be able to get back to the actual writing stuff.
