All right. A shamefully long time ago I responded to a post on Mary Robinette Kowal’s blog that read thus:
I will send a gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment here on my blog.
I don’t know what that gift will be yet, but you will receive it within 365 days (likely sooner than later). This may end up being almost anything. It could be a gift box, a hand made craft, a thrift store/garage sale find, a holiday oriented fascination, a poem, a book, a photo, or something else I find. Anything.
The only thing you have to do in return is “pay it forward†by making a similar agreement on your Journal.
I am now getting around to posting. Comment away, and you’ll get a gift from me eventually :)
I’ve been meaning to start leaving comments here, and this seems like as good a time as any to start. ;)
I love reading your blog, Deanna. I’m a writer and sometimes editor, and it’s fascinating to hear your perspective as someone who actually edits for a living. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. :)
How could I not leave a comment? It’s nice to see you posting again. Hope things are going well. Are you all set for your trip to Wyoming? It turns out my daughter will be back in Montana for the summer, but I don’t think we will go up there this year. We are getting together for a family reunion cruise at Thanksgiving. Actually we will be leaving from right near you. It is a Disney cruise leaving from Port Canaveral.

hey, I’m always three months behind on these memes. How cool is that?
I’m generally pretty bad about commenting on blogs, but pretty good about reading them. Your blog is a great read, and thanks for posting despite the fact that I’m a lame-o and never comment.
:) Cheers,
