truepenny1. I reached 60,000 words on the goblin book today, and most of the rest of it is spinning its armature in my head, like weird cyborg nano-spiders and maybe I'd better just abandon that metaphor right there.
2. It is finally November here, cold and dark and rainy. Secretly, I like this kind of weather.
3. So last year, the entirely cromulent Pat Rothfuss did a huge auction-type thing to benefit Heifer International. This year, he's going to do it again, which I mention because (a.) hey, heads up, especially though by no means exclusively to Rothfuss fans, since I understand there is to be lots of non-Rothfussian Cool Shit as well, and (b.) I have donated two item-sets for the auctioneering thereof:
i.) A complete signed set of the hardbacks of the Doctrine of Labyrinths (Mélusine, The Virtu, The Mirador, Corambis).
ii.) A signed copy of The Bone Key, plus signed manuscripts (for which read: print-outs) of the four uncollected Booth stories: "The Yellow Dressing Gown," "The World Without Sleep," "White Charles," and "The Replacement."
Watch Pat's blog for more news on the auction. Right now he's raffling a Tuckerization in The Wise Man's Fear.
4. Speaking of the Doctrine of Labyrinths, I got the cover flats for the mass market paperback of Corambis last week, and my editor's assistant is making page-proof noises. So, yes, there will be a mmpb edition--although I don't know for sure, it'll probably come out in April--and if you have noticed any typos, you may win my eternal gratitude by posting a comment with the specifics here.
5. And speaking of the Doctrine of Labyrinths, I had a dream Sunday night that, while it claimed to be a new subplot for the goblin book, was actually an AU about Methony, including Mildmay as a toddler.

And ooooh, Methony and Mildmay as a toddler sounds VERY interesting.
Finally, may I be the first nitpick for Corambis typos?
Chapter Seven, Kay, p. 183
"The day before we were to leave Esmer..." - am I right in supposing it should read "The day before we were to leave to Esmer..."?, as, as far as I can tell, they're still in Bernatha at that point.
and Chapter Eleven, Kay, p. 249, fifth paragraph
"I wanted to stand up, to scream, to tell them that they had no right to create such heartbreaking beauty when Gerard was dead"
