And once again, First Check --

. . . as in, a wee bit of a problem.

Can't find the original maps for HIDDEN FIRES. I was going to use alternations of them for FIRES OF NUALA (Warner goofed and didn't put in the maps) but they are deeply hidden. I say hidden because it is an act of will for me to discard any piece of paper. I improve at that skill, but have not mastered it. And . . . the maps in HIDDEN FIRES itself were based on my maps, but were not mine -- so I can't just use them. I have the map for FIRE SANCTUARY, a big monster, but that's it.

Guess who is drawing a map tonight?

I've had a request for a genealogy, too. That might happen, if my attempts to transfer it to PowerPoint go swiftly. I have never used it, but have been told it's fairly easy to master.

Somehow, I am not having a Lyme attack through all this (Hooray!) so maybe it will be easy. If so, it will be thanks to a woodland fairy who has tried to smooth the way for me.

I really need to get these to Vonda as quickly as possible. But tomorrow night is client night, the cat goes to the vet tomorrow, I leave town for a haircut Thursday (It's all John David's fault, he opened a salon in Llano!)and there is Armadillocon this weekend.

Did I mention the character beating on my head with a short story due September 1st?

AAAaarrrrrggghh. . . .

Sounds like it would be interesting. Working maps are fun.

I love maps. I was a cartographer in a previous life. But I have difficulty focusing very long on a point, so this is a lot harder than it needs to be!

If I were closer I'd volunteer to help. My fingers are crossed on your Allie project, and the e-editions of Nuala.
