Anyone notice?

So, I've been to the LKH page to check out the first chapter of Swallowing Darkness (still can't get over the ick factor in that name) and it's still not up.  The book's freaking page says it will be out in July.  With all those calendars hanging around for research you would think someone over there would notice that July only has 31 days.  

How will I flog the chapter if they don't freaking release it?!

Well... seeing as LKH didn't even finish the first draft until last week (or was it the week before), I can assume they're running behind schedule. And LKH has never really been tech-savvy, so I'm wondering if she even knows how to edit the page or whether or not the page still exists.

But there are a few hours left in July depending on which timezone you live in.

I just think it's silly that it takes her so long to finish these ridiculous books. I rewrote the first half of Lick of Frost in about 3 hrs. Yeah, yeah, I had a template, but she does too, so I don't think it should be that hard to string cut and paste sex scenes together with bad dialogue and expospeak. Just sayin' :)

LKH and I happen to be in the same time zone (I actually only live 1 1/2 hrs from her), so she only has 4 hrs 22 min. to make Jonboi put it up.

I never post anything I write 'cause I'm afraid of criticism. I am willing to admit that's why I don't post my own original writings though.

How many red pens had to die to accomplish that?

So very, very many! My copy of that book looks awful. It's practically bleeding red ink :)

Heee.... Well, she didn't make it, because oh gee, she was a)given re-writes to do (and, I wonder if her publisher is going, "God, the writing is pure crap! We don't want to publish this w/o at least telling her to do some revisions!") plus b) she's too busy wangsting over how horrible her life is to get the book done on time. :-p

The whole purpose of the rewrite was to create a story arc I could deal with. It was basically my own personal exercise in making my Discontinuity into the real series. Kinda therapeutic after I spent hard-cover money on it.
