Worth saving for

About two years ago, I made the acquaintance of a real-life full time fantasy novelist, a fellow some of you might know of: Steven Erikson. This guy took the time to sit down with me and tell me a lot of stuff about the publishing industry, about writing and about fantasy. He [...]

In addition…

Wow. I came a bit late to the table but as I’m home with a runny nose and nothing to do, I’m reading headlines. For those of you who haven’t been keeping up with the Scientology vs The World part Nine Thousand, it’s time to read some news. And for those of [...]

Guh

When we got married, Adam and I said in vows “what’s mine is yours, what’s yours is mine” and so, I suppose it makes sense that we should be sharing this cold back and forth between us.

Happy!

Wee, sleekit, cowrin’, tim’rous beastie,
O, what a panic’s in thy breastie!

In the News

Ugh. So tired. Just ate a huge burger, fries, a salad, and washed it all down with a dark beer. I did this because breakfast was two apples at five fifteen, and lunch didn’t happen. Now I’m lightly buzzed and absolutely pooped. Does this justify a point-form journal entry? [...]

What I’m Learning

I’ve been doing a lot of reading about writing these days and all I can say is that, man, was that overdue.
I suppose it’s because I started writing as a kid that I’ve never really paid much attention to how I write. I’ve been writing for more than ten years now and this is [...]
