One of my stories in progress has just gone in a totally unexpected direction. Which is when the good stuff happens, in my opinion. I wouldn’t go so far as to say that there’s no point in writing if I know how the story is going to end, but a large part of...

Happy birthday to the lovely, delightful Freddie Baer: a talented artist, a sweet and wonderful person, and one of the few people I would be happy to lose Alice in Jungleland to at auction. 😀 Happy birthday, Freddie! You...

Y’know, after the sixth machine I put my floppy into started screwing up, I might start to think maybe it was me. Or my (virusy) floppy. I’m just sayin’. No, I’m really not getting much writing done, so you get virii and the pain of utilities....

I just changed my address for F&SF and Asimov’s via their nifty forms. I feel like there’s something I’m forgetting to do. I wish I knew what it was. In other exciting news, my Internet connection at home is the suck. Also, I am weary of cleaning...

I didn’t make it into the second round of the screenwriting competition. Which dampens my faith in that script not even slightly. Dot Com rocks. It’s the best movie script ever. It’s young, it’s hip, it’s screamingly funny, and someone...

Rereading through “Grandfather Paradox,” I think the timeline needs a bit of a twist. I think it’s a bit too linear for this particular tale. And I still think it’s an Analog story, although that’s really Dr. Schmidt’s call and not...

Between attempting to buy a house (OMG don’t ask! so evil!) and wrestling with a software package of evil for work (I came, I saw, I kicked its ass!), I have been getting darned near no writing done. Shame on me! In fact, I’m so exhausted that I’ve...

Should I be deeply saddened that the people most interested in my writing blog are @#@()* spammers? Listen, spammers. Give it up. Stop wasting my time. Stop wasting your time. I have comment notification turned on. I’m here to promote my writing career, not...

We went to Lowe’s to pick up a few things and fondle the building materials (especially flooring, because I loathe the barf-brown carpets), and, um… I have expensive taste. No, really. Yikes. It’s a good thing I’m planning on keeping my day...
