I have managed to read all the submissions for the Secret Author stories, and all I can say is WOW. What a fantastic collection of diverse stories, every one of them giving me pause for thought. There are some very talented folks out there, and we are lucky here to share in their works.
Here in Central Massachusetts, the center of the Universe, the weather has been very fickle, with some absolutely gorgeous days, interspersed with stinky, humid weather in the low to high nineties. It has been a very dry summer, and starting this week we are about to be inundated with rain, in some local locales, a possible 3 to 6 inches by week's end...go figure...an entire summer's worth of rain over the next ten days. Our local farmers have cut the second haying, and are now racing to get it in.
Like all of you, I miss Geron Kees tremendously, as I was really starting to put out some stories; his advice to me was invaluable. That at times, less is more, that sometimes a hint or a suggestion works better than the very gratuitous. He was always commenting and offering help and praise; our writing world is diminished without him, and as I mentioned in the Myr's blog regarding Geron, I hope someday to see him once again on Engris.
