Surreal

I just feel totally surreal that The Chalice has actually been published. I have 16 copies headed my way for autographing and sending off to others. The one I'm super-frightened about (no big surprise here) is Barry Andrews. Next nervous is Carl Marsh. I still haven't decided yet whether or not it's a good idea to tell him that Cadmus is named after him. Barry has always known that Cadmus was is demon child, but I don't know how he'll react to all the horrible things that Cadmus actually does. I don't want the book to affect our relationship, so I hoping he'll take it all in stride, knowing that the character is inspired by his music and is not about him. We've talked about this before, so I know it's all good, but I'm still grousing and navel-gazing about the whole thing.

Another thing I'm nervous about is going live on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. I never thought my name would be on their websites.

And when on Earth did Wicca become mainstream. It was just mentioned on the View like it was no big deal. We worked so hard in the 90s to be recognised as a real spiritual path and it looked pretty bleak that this was going to happen. Now it's like "don't offend the Wiccans" year. What the hell happened while I was Solitary? Did the Wiccan community suddenly get some sort of PR person during my absence? Of course, it's only the Wiccans who are getting a break. If you're a Wiccan, it's all good. Call yourself a Witch and people run for the hills. It's the same thing, jack-wagon, just the term 'Witch' is closer to the actual tradition. Get the hell over it.

I was interviewed by [livejournal.com profile] thewritingpen. You can read it here: http://community.livejournal.com/thewritingpen/65478.html?view=433094#t433094.

[livejournal.com profile] beechelfromhell sent me the most awesome birthday card. It's of the Joker and, when you open the card J says "Let's put a smiiiiile on that face" and then he laughs maniacally. I can dig it. She also wrote a heartening note to both Aunt Tudi and me, one I'll be keeping probably til I'm old and dead. Also, she sent me this incredible Peace Bracelet, which is now on my let wrist with the friendship bracelet [livejournal.com profile] gunslingaaahhh made me. Both will have to rot off before I'll take them off. Them's the rules. So here's a picture of the bracelet, wrapped around my plump wrist.

Peace Bracelet

Isn't that wondrous? I don't know why [livejournal.com profile] beechelfromhell is so kind to me. Whatever I did, I need to do more of it to merit such decency from others.

Aunt Tudi told her doctor that the Lexapro wasn't working and boy howdy, was she telling the truth. When Aunt Tudi is depressed, she doesn't crawl off in a corner and internalize like I do. No, she turns mean. Loud and mean. With both of us dealing with depression, this is a bad situation. So the doc changed Aunt Tudi's meds to Pristiq. Maybe with that and with me on Cymbalta, Evil Tudi and Fretful Tracy will disappear and we can live in some semblance of peace.
