Corn Stalk Gypsies

[cathschaffstump]

The necessary evil of a day job means that sometimes you do have to cancel your art days to do your job. It’s midterms here in Iowa, and I have a department retreat to prepare for on Monday. That’s a lot to do, considering we’re off to Minneapolis, Aric and Kim, at the end of the day.

And for new words, I got nothing. The arm crapped out in the most mighty of ways last night after I balanced our budgets and paid our debts. We’re talking serious ouch. But there are a few things.

1. Here’s my depression era hair, for the impending stock market crash.

2. And here’s a new debate inspired Obama button sent by my super liberal pal in Kansas City. Feel free to wear and print.

3. The biggest news. Cornstalk Gypsies, the Iowa Flood support anthology will soon be realized as a book you can purchase. Opening scenes from Gossamer and Veridian that focus on the trolls are my contribution. Other Iowa authors you might know in the anthology are Sarah Prineas, Micheal Jasper, and Carrie Jones. Please consider buying this anthology. The need in Iowa for weather related relief isn’t going to go away any time soon.

This page goes active sometime this weekend, and will give you all the details. Please share all the details on websites near you.

Okay, I need to roll up my sleeves. If I get through the teacher stuff, I can write. That will make me happy.

ETA:: I did get through all the teacher stuff, and it DID make me happy! All I have to do on the road this weekend is write the equivalent of 3 sessions, dig? Dig.
