The Late Great Baby Needs New Brakes Sale
Oct. 20th, 2011 03:22 pmIn the past ten days we've had a veterinary emergency, four bad vaccine reactions out of nine (everybody is recovering), and this morning I dropped Le Truck off for a $250 service and at noon was told it needs ten times that. That's three ZOMG's, right? We're done now, right? Right?
I'm taking the Sears card tomorrow and getting the tires. The brakes are not anywhere in the budget. Not Even Close.
So. Free-enterprise time. I normally do this sale over the holidays, but this year we'll celebrate Samhain instead. I've even got something new to offer, for them as appreciates such things.
Mentoring and Editing
Detailed description of services here. Short form: Personally tailored instruction, editing, copyediting, whatever you need. I can work with you from the very beginning or run line edits on your completed ms., and a wide range in between.
For this sale, I'm offering a 5-hour block for $175, which is a $25 saving over the regular rate. This is enough time for review and discussion of a submission package, review and development of a plot or synopsis, or full-on line editing of about 25 pages (double-spaced, 250 words per page). I can run an individualized short course in one aspect of craft--plotting, for example, or worldbuilding, or prose style. This would be a great lead-in to NaNoWriMo, or a great way to get a professional beta read on the opening of your NaNo ms. come early December.
Previous clients are more than welcome to apply. I bank hours--you don't have to use yours immediately. Just keep in touch and let me know when you'll be needing them.
Horse Camp for Writers
This is Camp Lipizzan, famed in song and story. Details here. Three to five days or more in sunny Arizona, with Lipizzans. And lessons in riding and in equine body language. And White Horse Herd Yoga, which we believe is the first of its kind.
Our normal rate ranges from $350 per person for two nights/three days, third night $75, and $50 per night thereafter. Rate includes room with shared bath (one with double bed, the other with a double plus a single), large family room/library for writing and gathering, meals, free wi-fi, airport pickup and delivery (Tucson International is 25 minutes away), room cat and farm dog if desired, and hot and cold running Lipizzans. Riding lessons and yoga additional. You can have a workshop with me, or enjoy a writer's retreat, or use the farm as a base for sightseeing around Southern Arizona--the possibilities are endless.
For the Baby Needs New Brakes Sale, I'm offering a deal: Book four or more nights and pay in full by October 31st, and I'll add a fifth (or sixth or...) night free. That's $475 per person for six days/five nights.
I have openings in these ranges of dates:
November 12-18
November 25-December 10
January 2-March 9 (the Tucson Festival of Books is March 10th and 11th--if you come for the week, I can add another two nights for $75, though the meals option disappears as I'll be at the Festival)
April 1-15
May 7-30
And from July 1, 2012 onward (with some exceptions), but for now we're booking what adds up to the rest of the current school year.
Gifts from the Old Ones
And now the new thing: a box of prehistoric stone tools and projectiles, found by me on my private land. As lithics and as tools or points found on the surface of my own land, they are legal. The objects range from tiny (half an inch or smaller) to middle-sized (two to three inches--I have larger pieces, but those run in three or four figures on the pros' sites). Some are carved from fossilized bones (dinosaurs, mostly). There are arrowheads, spearheads, axeheads, knives or razors, and various tools. From the evidence, this was a manufacturing site, so many of the pieces may have been made right here.
I will ship you, with signed provenance, a box of selected items, like so:
6 items: $30
12 items: $50
US shipping $5 per box.
I can send you a photo of what you're getting before I pack it. If you have preferences (fossils, pointy things, tools, odd-shaped bits) let me know.
( This is the sort of thing I'm talking about )
Questions? Email me at capriole at that gmail thing. Payment by check or Paypal (add 5% for Paypal fees).
Please feel free to boost the signal. And thank you.
