Early dwarf gets the beer? Or something like that!
Naked dwarfling? Well, I would not expect him to be clothed anyway...
How much before his time was he? Half a month? Whole month?
Congratulations on the offspring!

a bit small with 2415gramm / 5.234lb but healthy
he still needs a bit of incubator time but he breathes himself (with a little oxygen assistance) and can be feed normally
I am very very broud of his mommy, she did a wonderful natural birth without any complications and was a real trooper the whole time
Congratulations aeglos and Sabine! A wonderful start to 2014. Best wishes to you all.
I just noticed that my New Year's wishes I wrote on Sabine's post were much more appropriate than I expected.

thank you guys,
I had already slept more than 1 hour until Sabine (who should be asleep in hospital) did send out a mail to everyone
then I got dragged into whtatsApp baby talk, now I am wide awake :-/
it is still very unreal to me, I am a father now ? ! ?
Maybe I should go to sleep earlier...
Tomorrow I have manual test at potential job at 12:30...
it is still very unreal to me, I am a father now ? ! ?
Better not try disbelieving illusion... Just in case.
And do not feed kid with beer. Yet.
Congratulations Aeglos and Sabine.
Also, I hope you don't care much for sleep. You won't have much of that for some time.

+1 from Santa Rosa, CA!
And do not feed kid with beer. Yet.Well now you're just talking crazy....
Heh. There I was, just a teeny little SnowJade (about 2, I think), on Easter Sunday. My Mom had just spent 45 mortal minutes swearing while she ironed out the ruffles on the dress that Grandmother had given me (and there would have been mortally injured feelings if I hadn't worn it, or so I've been told). She fought me into it (I hated dresses then, and I hate them now), then went to put on her own outfit. I wandered out onto the porch, and of course found the 3/4 full can of beer that someone had left from the block party the night before.... Hey, I like beer! It's full of nutriments and iron! At any rate, I guess I was a very, er, celebratory baby at church that particular Easter.

One of the kids at the cancer ward at the same time as my brother took a medicine you had to wash down with the same type of liquid every time - after his parents had tried to get him to take it with water, milk, various kinds of soda-pops, lemonade, and so forth, they desperately gave him a glass of low-alcohol beer. He took it.
So for two years his parents had to give their not-yet three-year-old son a glass of beer.
Man, I wish I owned a food truck in Colorado.
While working on my ideas for books to publish, I realized I am not mentally prepared to actually contact an editor.
How thorougly can I expect the stories I have in mind to be smacked around, brutally sawed into pieces or otherwise mutilated?
Do you have anyone to act as a "1st tier editor": friends/family that can do a read-through and offer suggestions/revisions/proof-reading so you can fine-tune your writing before sending it to a publisher?
I have at least one, but I plan to publish my smaller works independently.
Those works can be used as a way to catch a publisher's attention, if all goes well with my plan.
However, a friend of mine who has already published some books told me that those smaller works should probably be checked by an editor as well.

Always, always, always have a second set (preferably more) of eyes go over everything you want to publish. It's way too easy to miss stuff, from typos to glaring plot holes to inconsistent characterization to sneaky verb tense shifts... because your brain already knows what should be on the page and too easily glosses over what is actually on the page.
If you have any doubts about your own human fallibility, spend some time voting on SuperStar entries. You'd be amazed at what people are submitting as what are supposed to be polished examples of their very best work. There were two things on my submission I needed to fix that I only spotted immediately after I had clicked Submit... one is so glaringly obvious it will definitely cost me votes.
Edit: Example #2, I've edited this post twice already.
Edit 3: I don't mean to imply anything negative about your writing skills, or draw an unfavorable comparison between your writing and the less-than-stellar SuperStar entries. I only mean that everyone misses mistakes in their own writing, which is why we have proofreaders and editors. Good luck on your self-publishing and submitting. :)
Everything should be checked by editor or better three, if they are not absolute pros.
Leaving for job test in half an hour. I should shave myself a bit.
Wow. Voters' rambling thread that I started yesterday grow by 750 posts during about 10 hours...
Ok, going to take a shave and leave. Be back in a few hours.
Good luck on the test!

Most of it is hitting further north than here though...

It's hard. Editing is as much a talent as writing is, and while I have met a few talented writers I have met few talented editors. It's best to look things over yourself and then have someone who knows both you and the subject look it over. If you can get some positive feedback first, it helps with constructive criticism later, I have found.

And with that, I leave you. I shall be rather incommunicado. John and I are visiting my dad in Florida through Monday.
The trip is going to include a visit to Harry Potter World at Universal Studios. I'm not going to hide it: I am more than a little excited.
