the wonderful Deb LeBlanc couldn't make it, but this is a relaxed, fun event. I will post a couple of interviews in my Ghostwriter section soon. I'm getting inspired hearing the success stories, too--writers are selling projects and people are reading them. I have launched a new project that has a little more humor than my other work and this morning I am working on the Dreamboat comic series. Ana Ludmila has done some beautiful character sketches, and Sergio Castro will be developing the art. Here is one of the two main characters. For your approval, Julian Furr:I miss my chickens and garden--this year really feels like a struggle for some reason, with odd weather--too rainy, then too cool, late frost, then sudden summer. I've had a few requests for garden updates, so let's just say the slugs are winning, though I do have a few new greens this year like tatsoi, fennel, and a different kind of Swiss chard, as well as four different kinds of potatoes. Here's what kind of garden nerd I am--I got this great big pick-up load of cow crap, piled up for over a year, in a creaky old truck with bad tires and a door that doesn't shut and you can start it without a key. Heaven! Also have about 50 tomato plants this year, as the canning experience was so satisfying last year that I'm going to keep us busy this fall. Also have many more green beans this year, five different varieties, three of them heirloom. About two-thirds of the seeds came from my own stock, saved from last year, and there are other things I'm learning about seeds. For example, some things seed in the spring after overwintering--turnips, parsnips, parsley. I always wondered how you get cabbage seeds--I guess you just leave the stalk in the ground and let it go full cycle. I'll have a "chicken post" next week, as I'm writing a newspaper article on my experience with chickens.
So you are a gardener too!!
I like Julian Furr. It's not often you see a red head with long long legs.
