A week ago, I arrived in Seattle for the long stay. Â Woke up this morning to a cat’s nose in my face. Life is back to what passes for normal…. (except they let me sleep until 6:30! A West Coast Miracle!). Â The apartment’s still a work in progress, but we’re getting there. Â It feels like […]
Spent the weekend split between sorting and storing, and revising the novella. And poking my brain at the short story that due next month. Semi-productive, in small ways that don’t really have impressive-to-report markers.  :-( But we’re at 9 donations confirmed, and 2 more promised for #willwrite2feedothers! Four more people stepping forward to do something kind, and you

Moving and deadlines and Life have gotten a nasty delay in my plans, but yes, #Willwrite2feedothers is happening. But what, some of you who weren’t around or paying attention last year, are asking, is #Willwrite2feedothers? It’s this. I’m careful about where I give my charity money.

Â But I’ve got your link here, never fear! But wait, wait, some of you don’t know about Worldbuilders? Every year, a bunch of us writer-

My only comments about the election are that with democracy, sometimes we get the government other people deserved.  Also, that not giving up/not losing faith is the best fuck you we can give to those who want to haul us back to the 1950’s (or 1850’s). I’m off to World Fantasy today. Over the weekend, Subtenant will be cat-minding,

SILVER ON THE ROAD is now, officially, the longest book I’ve ever written, and I still have another 75 pages to revise (exactly where Mine Editor sayeth “give us more detail!”) So. Yeah. (for those wondering, that means we’re past the 126,000 word mark. Certain Writers may call that a novella, but for me,

Where “this” is a leave of absence from NYC. In December, I’m packing up self, cats, and a limited (!) number of books, and hauling cross-country to Seattle, where I will take up residence for a year (or two). No, I’m not abandoning NYC. I still own my apartment – a friend is subletting, a
So, yeah. This is happening. Read More »
Writerly Stuff: Revisions on many things continue. Â I am very boring on social media during revisions, unless you’re privy to the maniacal cackling and frustrated sobbing…. For those of you following the progress of SILVER ON THE ROAD, I just sent the following character references off to our art director: Kasun Izzy I have
