Kindly refer back to my 323 post...this is life at the coalface. This is how creative creatures like me see the whole matter and why we think there is a great deal of self-important/self-enriching/self-serving wankery going on- which has zilch to do with those of us who are actually creating stuff-

Kerry - you're right. Sorry. I'm sure Russell will oblige.
Prepping for house painting??
Shrieks.
That is one big heavy dusty dirty ongoing sweaty job.
Done it several times.
Wont again.
All best for this time- -
Go us donkeys!

I've had a really interesting wee wrangle with one of my publishers over the past 2 months. It was about renewal of licence-to-print rights. (These generally have a 10year rollover.) Imagine my - considerable interest- when they really turned out to be about electronic rights....we've sorted everything out now, it's *only* the print rights getting renewed but-if I'd being relying on an agent (for that book) the agent might've looked at the figure offered, thought about their 10%, and let it roll...& me & mine would've lost big time.
All - well, most of, - robbery says about individual artists fending for themselves applies here. And Mark Harris's comments divebomb into the nether regions.Which is why any change needs to occur *really* slowly & *really* cautiously. It will happen - but it wont with a wholesale slaughterous open slather. Which, I also realise, is not what is proposed but which could happen when/if the scenario this publisher offered is ever accepted-
That said, ditch section 92 RIGHT NOW.

*That* was definitely a dance of the hours relocated from minuet territory-
good to view it
(reminds of nightmares I have had-) -
steven crawford, I realise that was just a tiny error, but measuring the earth in minuets paticularly appeals to me!

-but which *never* should be offered with it-

Kia ora Jackie- thanks! And while I dont write with possible readers in mind, some stuff does creep out into the wider world- may all be well with all you love too-

Walking was one of my especial pleasures until arthritic hip and knees
made it rather unpleasant...I look like turning into a hundred stone zombie without it tho' (and thus, the post-modernists are proved right!)
