I really should make this several nice, long, chatty blogs…but, ya know, life is moving on and I’m moving on with it. So you’ll get the crammed, somewhat shorter version. And my graduation report? It’ll probably be even more crammed and tardy as well.
The rest of WorldCon was great, though a bit blurred. We met […]

WorldCon Remainder
Published by August 18th, 2008 in Writing and Newsy Bits About Writing and Writers. 5 CommentsDays 1 and 2 of WorldCon 2008
Published by August 7th, 2008 in Newsy Bits About Writing and Writers. 0 CommentsI was swaying on my feet by the end of the day, so this will be shorter than it should be. Yesterday (Wednesday) we caught a couple panels after registering, and I thoroughly enjoyed the one on writing a good query letter, offered by Kristen Nelson. She was upbeat and funny while being very informative. […]
Trinocon Highlights and WorldCon Clothes
Published by July 28th, 2008 in Writing and Newsy Bits About Writing and Writers. 0 CommentsThe pieces fell into place at the last minute for us to attend Trinocon, so we scooted over there and enjoyed our first relaxacon. We made a pretty full day of it, with lots of good panels, but my favorite panel would have to be the world building one in which we, the audience, got […]
On Tuesday last I recieved my signed copy of Dragonforge, James Maxey’s newly released second book in the Dragon Age saga. This book was one I got to see in the development stage, and had read the first half months ago, so I expected to skim ahead ’til I found the spot where’d I’d left off. Instead I found myself […]
Belated But Heartfelt Congrats
Published by June 29th, 2008 in Newsy Bits About Writing and Writers. 2 CommentsI’m not sure how I missed blogging this. I was so excited for Becca’s new status as an agented author while it was all developing, I was ready to receive circus training so I could better express my enthusiasm in cartwheels and backflips. But, since I was able to chat it all out in a private writing forum […]
WorldCon and Submissions
Published by June 18th, 2008 in Writing and Newsy Bits About Writing and Writers. 0 CommentsI have my WorldCon schedule–and let me just say, it is sooo awesome to have a WorldCon schedule!
I’m on a panel Saturday at 2:30 (or 14:30) with the working title of ‘Getting to the top: Mountains in Fact and Fiction’. Should be fun.
I’ll also be hanging out at the Hadley Rille Books Ruins signing, assuming such a […]
Sample Taste of IGMS
Published by February 5th, 2008 in Newsy Bits About Writing and Writers. 0 CommentsOrson Scott Card’s Intergalactic Medicine Show is doing a promotion in which one story from several issues is free!
I’ve read several of these stories (since I generally buy a subscription) and can tell you that these are great stories, nothing to sneeze at. Tabloid Reporter, especially, will keep you chuckling at random points throughout the rest of […]
My Doubly-Delayed Announcement
Published by December 4th, 2007 in Writing and Newsy Bits About Writing and Writers. 0 CommentsI mentioned before that I would be making an announcement about a new venture, but our guidelines didn’t satisfy and I felt I should plead the fifth rather than stumble through an apologetic attempt at posting the guidelines here. However, after sending the entire editorial board off to wrestle Syrian spiders (rather like Bengalese tigers, but with more […]
Storm’s Rising and New Venture
Published by November 14th, 2007 in Writing and Newsy Bits About Writing and Writers. 0 CommentsMy flash story Storm’s Rising is up at EDF. I’ll look forward to chatting with all of you in the comments section.
Soon I hope to disclose the guidelines for a new venture I’ll be a part of–just as soon as we can stop arguing, err, ’discussing’ those guidelines and make it all official. I’m very excited.
A Lovely amd Promising Collection
Published by October 31st, 2007 in Writing and Newsy Bits About Writing and Writers. 0 CommentsIn my completely unbiased opinion! My contributer copy of Extraterrestrial Ruins came today–and who needs tricks or treats after that?
I’m looking forward to reading the other stories included, it will be interesting to see how many ways we could spin the same theme. I expect a wide range of variation, given how differently my writing […]
