still here

I am still here; actually working myself to shards on writing and editing deadlines, along with a 16-hour sex ed stint over the weekend. I have a lot to share with you, soon. Not being here on the blog is making me crazy; I’m eeking out messages in tweets and pics until I can get these manuscripts to my publisher… Also, I’ve been invited to be on Oprah at some point soon — and placed into Best Sex Writing 2010, speaking at Cybernet about my own disruptive brand of sex writing (omg, I owe everyone bios and photos, argh)…

Then, I want to get back to normal: blog, play, cause trouble, repeat.

* Fascination + distraction = 25 Things About My Sexuality (thanks, P!).

* Also: here’s a great SF Missed Connection.

You’re never going to belive this, but this once when I was transcribing a 5,000-page Dostoyevsky novel onto Missed Connections…

3 DJ June 3, 2009 at 7:55 am: ~ hang in there Violet!

Hope your thumb feels better soon :)

Please don’t forget to post when you have your Oprah date confirmed :) Thanks!

5 Darkstar June 1, 2009 at 1:02 am: Wow. You weren’t able to see a doctor? (Or did I miss that?) :(

Speaking of doctors, “when I play doctor, I play to win.” By forcing a difficult patient into one of those nice white cotton straightjackets before the exam?
6 violet June 1, 2009 at 12:29 am: Darkstar – my thumb is weird. it still hurts to touch — in certain ways, like nerve damage — the feeling has *mostly* returned but my thumbprint is indeed changed. it’s a real annoyance for writing, but doesn’t look too yucky anymore… :)

Wojak – thank you!
7 Darkstar May 31, 2009 at 10:33 am: How is the hand that got cut?
8 Wojak May 31, 2009 at 3:42 am: Wondered where you were.
