THANK YOU.

[snurri.livejournal.com]

YOU'RE WELCOME.

(Sorry you're exiled from your office, BTW.)

[jennreese.livejournal.com]

Hooray!

[sallytuppence.livejournal.com]

Double hooray!

[matociquala.livejournal.com]

Bully.

It just occurred to me that that might not be a Teddy Roosevelt-style exclamation of approval, but rather a label being applied to me.

In which I case I must now run away crying.

[gregvaneekhout.livejournal.com]

I bet you wrote that quickly.

[snurri.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah, but then I spent three months on revisions.

[snale.livejournal.com]

Agreed.

[secritcrush.livejournal.com]

You're AWESOME!

[snurri.livejournal.com]

Another life goal accomplished.

Dood, if you're so bored you could always log on to IM to prevent my KILLING MYSELF FROM BOREDOM.

Although I confess if you do, I won't get any work done, but that doesn't seem to be happening, anyway . . .

Heh. The thing is, I'm not even supposed to be here--I'm supposed to be somewhere writing (at my own pace) and being productive and stuff. So I'm going to be leaving ANY MINUTE NOW.

Damn it, Greg beat me to that joke!

Because he's a faster writer than me.

[snurri.livejournal.com]

Don't take it so hard. It just means he drinks more coffee.

This is Tolbert Law of Writers #4: The best way to start up a bunch of writers talking is to give them a way to talk about themselves. All writers have a speed. Thus, the talking. The neverending talking.

Corollary: Nothing bores more than a writer talking about process.

[snurri.livejournal.com]

You're probably right on both counts. (Definitely right on the Corollary.)

I LOVE YOU

[snurri.livejournal.com]

Smooch back atcha, girl.

Are you getting on a plane soon?

[shaolingrrl.livejournal.com]

A grateful world thanks you.

(It may be my imaginary world, but it's still a world.)

[snurri.livejournal.com]

Well, you're assuming it will work.

I like your optimism!

[bondgwendabond.livejournal.com]

Thank you for confirming that I need not dip a toe into any of that business that happened over the last two weeks.

[snurri.livejournal.com]

Hell, no. What you've been up to is far more rewarding.

Sing it, sing it, sing it!

This one was one of the more tedious writerly discussions, wasn't it? I mean, writing *speed*? Gimme a break. Now, writing ON speed, *that's* something to discuss.

(And, no, I won't let Tim do meth, no worries.)

I'm pretty worthless writing on anything stronger than caffeine, myself.
