My office threw me a going away party the other night. Great party -- much laughing, eating, drinking. Speeches. Sui-Ling, whose birthday party I went to the other night, came, because she used to work at the same office, four or five careers ago. And they gave me a watch! A very cool skydive-to-skindive "chronometer." In case in my new life I need to do those things. 23 years working for this firm, finally decided it was time to write full time, no good putting that off any longer. My choice; they would have kept me until the cows come home. Actually came to the decision last September, only leaving now. Very very low-angle slope to this beach. Still, now that I'm finally not touching the ground, this water's awfully wide.

sjrozan I'm a writer, at work on my 11th book. This blog is a record of random and less-random thoughts. If you want to know more about me, check my website, linked here. I also had a blog going from spring through late fall 2004 about the publishing process for my 9th book, ABSENT FRIENDS. That blog's called "Progress" and you can find the link here. I won't make any more entries but I'm leaving it up in case anyone's interested; the process is more or less the same from book to book.
