Okay, this is my first annual Winterthing Card Call.

That is, if you want a holiday card from me, please email me your real name and address and I’ll send you a card in time for the holidays!

My email is iwasborninjuneATgmailDOTcom… but with the actual symbols, of course. Please put “Winterthing Card” in the subject heading so that I don’t delete your message as spam.

Out of country addresses are fine. (I live in the USA.)

Looking forward to hearing from you!

…I talk about everything from writing —

  1. Kaylie Jones
    KaylieJones My cousin wants to sue me for what I said about him in my book. His denial is amazing: he left a paper trail of his deeds a mile long.
  2. V.E. Duncan
    veduncan @KaylieJones wow. that’s… definitely drama. more fodder for your next book, maybe?
  3. Kaylie Jones
    KaylieJones @veduncan I’m fascinated by process of denial. Nxt book: narrator who lies to evryone incl self! http://myloc.me/1jGjP
  4. V.E. Duncan
    veduncan @KaylieJones my memoir is actually kind of about that, and the narrator who lies to herself is ME!
  5. Kaylie Jones
    KaylieJones @veduncan How are u working that out structurally? Lots of denial in my memoir, too. I’ll DM you my email. http://myloc.me/1kJGw
  6. V.E. Duncan
    veduncan @KaylieJones I’ve rearranged things three or four times now. still trying to decide if I want the readers to know if I’m in denial or not.
  7. Kaylie Jones
    KaylieJones @veduncan I have so many students who write brilliantly. Seems getting structure always the problem. http://myloc.me/1mGgR
  8. V.E. Duncan
    veduncan @KaylieJones I think I have it figured out, but I thought that three times ago, too. We’ll see. I’m in 630 right now, while I’m doing 620!

… to yaoi ornaments (yes, ornaments) —

  1. Yaoi Press
    yaoipress I’m making yaoi ornaments. Any suggestions?
  2. Yaoi Press
    yaoipress http://twitpic.com/osjai – Here’s my first try. Whadayathink? #yaoi
  3. V.E. Duncan
    veduncan @yaoipress http://twitpic.com/osjai – I like.. will it come in different colors so that I can cover my tree in them?
  4. V.E. Duncan
    veduncan @yaoipress http://twitpic.com/osjai – or maybe you could have one for each year so people who like collecting could get a new one next year?
  5. Yaoi Press
  6. Yaoi Press
  7. Yaoi Press
    yaoipress Bleh…I wish I could make those balls, but I’d have to charge $8/ea. >o< Too much for an ornament.
  8. V.E. Duncan
    veduncan @yaoipress maybe you could make them flat. would that make them any cheaper? like.. flat and translucent or something?
  9. V.E. Duncan
    veduncan @yaoipress or what about something like this? http://bit.ly/22uMIA (I just typed “ornaments bulk, logo” into Google http://bit.ly/408OQD)
  10. V.E. Duncan
    veduncan <— wants a yaoi ornament. lol
  11. Yaoi Press
    yaoipress @veduncan A shrinkydink or a real custom ball thing?
  12. Yaoi Press
    yaoipress @veduncan I was looking at these http://is.gd/4QCvY only 50 piece minimum. I doubt I could move more than that.
  13. V.E. Duncan
    veduncan @yaoipress hmm yeah, maybe not, but if you had extra you could sell them again next year, in theory… if you had space to store them…
  14. V.E. Duncan
    veduncan @yaoipress haha I don’t even know what a shrinkydink is.
  15. V.E. Duncan
    veduncan @yaoipress there’s also these http://bit.ly/rADZm but they’re 100 minimum, too.
  16. Yaoi Press
    yaoipress @veduncan A year is a long time to have your money tied up in a product. It’s fine if I made $10/piece, but not this small margin.
  17. Yaoi Press
  18. V.E. Duncan
    veduncan @yaoipress ah HAH. I just slapped down some cash for one of those. ^_^ and Zesty.

… to my friends —

  1. Esther Chon
    estherium i love my shuffle and the music on it. great start to friday morning, except the whole biker butt thing. more pros than cons, though.
  2. V.E. Duncan
    veduncan @estherium good ^_^ I have a friend here who wakes up every day to more cons than pros. I try to sympathize, but day after day, it’s hard!

  1. Justice Fisher
    justicewrites Ok. Regular Coke tastes really frickin’ weird after years of Diet Coke and Diet Dr. Pepper drinking. Stupid sold out vending machine.
  2. V.E. Duncan
    veduncan @justicewrites my best friend, @zekor, won’t drink regular Coke because of that. I think he’d probably turn his nose up at diet DP, though.
  3. Bobby
    Zekor @veduncan I do turn my nose up at diet DP. It’s gross. :P
