I’m writing this late Sunday night and I’m tired. It’s been a LONG weekend. I’ve been working really hard for several days now on a secret project that I can’t talk about yet. 
Which is too bad, because I’d dearly love to blab, but I can’t just yet. I hope to have something to tell you about in a couple of months. This thing has chewed up ALL my free time and more than all of my energy for most of the last week. I’m almost done, but am now in an advanced state of frazzle.
We’re going to start a new series of blogs here on “Best Practices in Self-Editing.” I’ve been collecting questions from you all and will forward those on to Renni Browne, one of the authors of the famous book, “Self Editing for Fiction Writers.” But tonight, I’m just too tired to do all that.
I’m looking at all your comments for the last few days and I saw one by Camille:
Thanks Randy, who DON’T you know?
Randy sez: There are a lot of people I don’t know. However, I’m generally not afraid to send people an email out of the blue. It helps to be running an e-zine with 10,000+ readers. That tends to give me some credibility.
OK, I’m really tired and I’m heading to bed now. I’ve got a bit of work to do tomorrow on this infamous secret project and then I’ll send it in and we’ll see what happens. I would tell you more about this if I could, but I can’t. 
I am REALLY enjoying this secrecy thing.

Having a secret project can be delicious, but be careful of leaking … of course, you could let a little out at a time and see who guesses first.
Gee, Randy, one would assume from this post that you’re tired…;-) Hope you’re refreshed and going full throttle today. I am reallllly looking forward to that secret project’s unveiling!
Ooooo…I love secrets!
Secrets are no fun unless you share them. You obviously are itching to or you wouldn’t be mentioning it so much.
I’m praying for you and your family, Randy, you have done so much for all of us and we are a grateful bunch of writers for your help and freely giving of yourself. I know God is blessing.
Sincerely,
In His Service,
Paulette Harris
May God bless your secret.
May God give you grace to keep your secret!
Well, here’s a lesson on “Best Practices in Self-Control” to tide us over. But it seems to me like you’re asking for it by creating piqued interest amongst this group.
While you can’t tell what it is, maybe you can tell us in cryptic theoretical physicist terms what happened after you “sent it in.”
I thought I was tired before I read this post, now you made me tireder. Thanks a lot.
No fair revealing you have secret twice without even a hint to make us guess what it might be.
Zzzzzzzzzzz
Natch! Let the Mad Genius keep his secret in peace! Then give him time to snowflake it. He will then sock it to us in m.r units for one heck of a PoEmEx.
“Best Practices in Self-Editing” couldn’t have come at a better time, Randy. It’s (1) exactly where I am in developing my WIP and (2) a real answer to prayer. Thank you . . . and God bless.
