I’m back to work this morning; One of the stand-alones needed a synopsis and I hit a “some stuff happens here” moment and decided to take a blogging break. Funny how that happens, right? I might get crazy and post something on Facebook later when I’m supposed to be polishing the work-list for the rest of 2012. Anyway, I hope everyone had — Â or is still having — a great holiday. Postings may be a bit scarce around here until the week of the eighth, but someone on the team will post updates should any noteworthy news arise.

EDITOR: What? Why? MEG: I don’t know. It just popped in there. [In the background, critique partner bursts out laughing, expelling air at an alarming rate, until left breathless and wheezing.] MEG: What? What’s funny? CRITIQUE PARTNER: (gasping) Google. Google Derek Smalls, once. [Conference call is interrupted by soft staccato of resentful typing, followed by pause for search results. All groan.]

Most people around the world know that this week is a big holiday week here in the States — lots of family gatherings and overeating and American football and that sort of thing. As a result, Twitter, the blog and Facebook might fall even more quiet than usual; if I have to decide between writing and playing online, writing will always win out. So rest assured that even if my media goes quiet for a bit, things are still cranking behind the scenes. Back to normal by Monday, I hope.
