Subject: RE: BS: &Help- Writers-what space is best for U?
thanks for your comments Amos (and kat, and Peter, et al); actually it is very much a project I WANT to do! A publisher contacted me (after reading my stuff on Witchvox) to ask me to write a book on modern witchcraft in America, and after some conversations decided he wanted to have a very personal anecdotal spin; part memoir, part overview.

It is the perfect sort of thing for me to write. I sent some ideas and a sample chapter and he was enthused but we are still not at the point where we are signing any contracts; he may forward this on to another editor at some point, for starters.

Even this week, on spring break, I am having trouble geting to work on it! Though after three days of being snowbound I think this is gonna be the day...I have also started a new project (a screenplay collaboration) which could also be a BIG thing; but there is no reason not to work on both...

My life transition (from working 9 to 5 to part-time, at home) would, I thought, facilitate things. Then my computer ended up in the shopo for almost a month and that threw me off. Now, I have no excuse. Good goddess, do I fear success?

I think I need to put my books in storage and shoot my television, eh?

I am off to write! Damn it!
