Checking in on LinkedIn I discovered posted in one of the groups I partake in a link to a lovely set of "24 Things No One Tells You About Book Publishing." I just had to share this. Whether one works in the publishing industry or one merely enjoys the products thereof, this is a good reminder of how things are.

I also have finally been the recipient of a letter (at least, this is the first from this network regarding this subject) that I'm not completely sure what to make of it. I guess I had better state publicly and for the record that I most certainly am not looking for anyone new in my love life. Thank you. Friends are ok, but I have enough on my plate. Have a partner already, thank you. I have a close confidante already too that hears the stuff my partner doesn't get dumped on him. Thank you again.
I am fairly certain that at some point everyone on LinkedIn gets sounded out about their relationship status. I am of two minds as to whether or not a space for "already taken," "not looking," and similar would be a useful thing on profiles for what is supposed to be a professional networking website. After all it could unfairly bias possible future employers against someone that is married or has children. On the other hand I suppose it could be good if one is looking for someone with family values to invite into their company, although again that brings up the issue of bias.
In other news I am keeping my eyes and ears open for good freelance editors to add to my list of those to contact on projects that need a set of eyes that is not my own (such as for my own works, or when I am too slammed due to various events and need help catching back up on the work pile). Interested parties can contact me through linked in with their rates and preferred genres. I don't guarantee work right off the bat, but am instead working on a list of those that I can contact when needed and whom I can also suggest to others.

Checking in
Teresa Garcia (or Teresa Amehana Garcia / Amehana Arashi) is a rural Northern California mountain woman. Art supplies are at premium in a house of artists. She has health, intermittent mobility, and nerve pain issues which she pushes through as well as possible, in order to complete her tasks. With a busy autistic son she does not always have enough time for her own projects, and her work projects often eclipse her own personal projects.
Teresa writes mainly fantasy. Her works include poetry, short stories, and novels. She also paints, narrates on ACX, illustrates, fiddles about with ASMR readings, Reiki Master, Priestess, and is open for commission. She writes challenges for the online browser based role play of Dragon Hearts (which don’t always get coded) and administrates for Dreaming Twilight in SL. She volunteers time as curator for on-line libraries overseeing live and pre-recorded programs. She also is one of the administrators for the Nisa/Dreaming Twilight role play group and helps develop the lore for their program. In addition she is the owner/operator of THG StarDragon Publishing and a co-owner of Dragon Hearts RPG.
