Chrys-- Congratulations on finishing the book! That is definitely a feat worth celebrating!

Your COACHELLA treat is such a wonderful reward for your efforts. Wishing you a great trip, with lots of fun and Great Music!!

And don't forget to say Hi to Maynard from me ;)

Lump-- I never heard of any interpretations for lines on the fingers (before the one Chrys just related). I have them too, by the way, but long and not obviously noticeable. On other parts of the hand vertical lines indicate a positive flow of energy, so I would think that idea could be carried up through the fingers too. The bottom two sections of the fingers are thought to represent base desires (bottom) and practical actions/applications. So it's possible vertical lines there could indicate the prominence of energies in those realms, which could be further specified by the fingers affected and the quantity and styles of the markings. To my knowledge, other qualities of each finger and the mounts under them, amongst other things, would be definitely be considered more significant to a reading, in any case.

Not as interesting as the water thing, but there ya go :P

well guys, i will speak too soon and say this:

i have always known that when the time was ripe, i would go with self-publishing rather than going with a major publisher. there are a lot of reasons for that. i have seen published authors get totally screwed by even subsidiary publishers. there's also the whole idea of going indie rather than going with the big man in new york. i think there are a lot of parallels to the record industry. mostly though, if you self-publish, you get more money per book sold (by a lot actually), and you get to keep your rights.

so i've been reading the self-publishing manual by dan poynter, aka the self-publishing bible, and he makes very very strong arguments for becoming your own publishing company, as a sole proprietorship business. if i do it, it will mean doing a lot of the work myself, which i sort of like, as a self-starter type of person. also when i did my show and various other things, i have really enjoyed the business end of things, the promotions and press releases and organization, so this might be a good outlet for my more left-brained self, while the right brain writes. once i get this up and running, and really know the ins and outs of how to do it, i can do this for the other people in my group who want to self-publish, because i know most of them really hate the whole promotions/business end of it. if i do this, it will take a LOT of work, and a lot of learning, and a lot of consulting with other people who know a lot more about what they're doing. still i am very strongly leaning towards it.

also i'm going to say my projected release date for the book is oct 31st. we'll see if i can keep that, it means i should get it to a printer by june, yikes!
