Melting frost

Not particularly cold this morning, about  30 F, with clear sky.  Sun has pretty much thawed the cars and roads by now.  Forecast includes a "winter storm watch" for Friday...

Well, that's actually for "The County", far northern Maine.  But we're supposed to get rain mixed with snow, starting overnight and continuing on for a while.

And if anybody out there in radio-land can provide a clear and succinct definition of "commercial urban fantasy" -- as intended by Nice Editor Lady -- you'll have my undying* gratitude.  She wants that, rather than SIGNATURES.  Doesn't think it will sell enough copies.

I'll be moping over in the dim corner of our back bedroom.

*"undying" in this context means I'll remember your kindness for at least a week.  It's that Senior Moment kind of thing.

It is a bad thing because it causes rejection, which is bad for my fragile writerly ego.

I hear ya.
Writer egos are fragile indeed.
