Today Tim and I worked on our not-so-secret project, and I feel so good about it. I’m glad Tim talked about it on his Live Journal because I finally get to say that working with the writers in this anthology has been such a positive experience for me. Not only are they talented, but it’s been a pleasure to get to know them (or know them better) through this process.
I wasn’t sure how it was going to go, because there were some challenges along the way. People who’d hoped to contribute weren’t able to submit in time, or some had really good stories but they weren’t right for this collection. Hopefully, I’ll get to work with them someday in the future.
You’ll be reading lots more about this as we get further along in the process toward publishing. Right now, we’re asking the contributors to hold off on public discussions until every “i” is dotted and “t” is crossed. (You might say we learned something from the time Tim had a story bought and paid for that was inadvertently omitted from a collection.)
I just wanted to take the opportunity to say that I’ve learned so much, met so many good people and excellent writers both in and not in the anthology, and it’s no wonder that today, Tim can turn the world on with his smile.
