Hey, folks! Out of spoons over here, so I’m taking a vacation.
A social media vacation, at least.
I’m gone this week to SDCC and the next week to NECon and then having some friends visit? So, for the next week, the blog is going to sit quietly in the corner and think about what it’s done. I’ll be on Twitter and Facebook only scarcely, though I won’t be entirely absent. I will be back to the blog for the release of The Harvest, which drops next Tuesday. (Preorder here.) No flash fiction challenge this week or next, though you will find some FIVE THINGS I LEARNED promo posts popping in on their respective Thursdays.
I also remind you that the new edition of Blackbirds is still on sale: $1.99 for digital.
Finally, Relentless Reading did a quicky interview with me about stuff and things.
Go buy awesome books and read them and tell people about them.
That is all.
Be good.

Seriously, go forth, kick ass, have fun. I recently disconnected for 10 days and was refreshed.
See ya on the flip side.

Have great times, meet new friends, make many sales, enjoy family and old friends, and don’t worry overmuch. The Internet is crazy and will still be here when you get back. (That doesn’t sound inviting, does it?…*sigh*…*wanders off in contemplation*)
(*Sheepishly runs back*…Forgot to press “post!”…*waves*)

Downloaded and started reading “Blackbirds” last night. I’m liking it.

Thanks for linking. I was hesitant posting the interview but I wanted to put out something fun and positive amidst all the crap. Thanks again for the chat and I’ve got your back in my own small corner of the blogosphere…

So…so this mean we can do whatever we want now, right? We’re free of the tether of the beard?
Prepositional endings for all!

Enjoy the break, Chuck! We’ll try not to burn the place down while you’re gone 😉

Have fun and unpack any crazymakings. CMs have extra mass gravity, give you wrinkles, and are too big for backpacks. Margaritas with chips and guac give quick CM relief. Also, thanks for the heads up about Blackbirds on sale: got it!

I hope you have a blast at the conventions. Just watch out for con crud. Please do me a favor and if you run into Sigler or A and give them a hug from me (Sue, BrightEyedDyer). We’ll hold down the interweb fort in your absence.

Hope you’re doing okay. A social-media break is a good thing for everyone now and then.
Enjoy your vacation!

Have a good break. Raced off to get my copy of Blackbirds only to discover the kindle version is $9.99 here in Australia. Why is that?

Because ‘STRALYA TAX MAATE! It’s showing $7.51 for me on the ‘Zon. Meh. I give up and just buy things these days.
Have a happy break, Chuck! SDCC would be fun.

Welp, them ET moobs are going to haunt my nightmares. #datcleavage
So it seems your ‘make your own Flash Fiction’ challenge came in a timely fashion. Guess I’ll get to working on some of those in your internet absence. Have fun, Mr. Wendig!
