Came home last night to a happy dog and an even happier wife. And I couldn't have been happier to see them.

But quite a comedown to return to work—and be plunged into a manufactured crisis—after a week-plus at the Blue Heaven workshop. No time to post about the week's experiences yet, except to say that it was an amazing week filled with great people, and that the help I received on my novel was and will be absolutely invaluable. You may or may not glean more tantalizing details from ❦ccfinlay, ❦secritcrush, ❦sallytuppence, ❦paulmelko, Greg, ❦tim-pratt, Brenda, and Toby.
And you may or may not be tantalized by ❦secritcrush's Blue Heaven photo album!
Oh, and here and here, if you read down the yellow columns on the left, you can see what happens when writers with too much beer and wi-fi edit one another's Wikipedia entries.
Thanks, everyone, for a great week!
P.S. Does anyone speak Swedish?
