Crashed before midnight, slept until 9am. Stupid cold meds – half the morning’s gone already! Will be playing catch-up the rest of the day…. [and I still have the remnants of this damn cold. Grrr. Freelancers don’t get paid sick-days, body!] But yes, there’s a new Practical Meerkat up today, in which the P Word […]

Sorry for the last minute notice, but it’s been that kind of a week… I’ll be on unscriptedradio tonight between 9-10pm (eastern). Call in, say hi, ask a question — or just listen to us ramble! I apologize now for any/all unscripted sneezing. Yeah, the cold’s reached that point…

Busy busy busy and really incredibly boring with it, unless watching me type is a turn-on (if so, you guys need better hobbies…). 1. Started writing the new UF novel, featuring geek girls, a pony with too high an opinion of himself, a repo man who’s sorry he asked, and something lurking under the crosstown

On an ordinary morning a decade ago, I woke up, took the PATH train from NJ into Manhattan. I stopped at the usual coffee cart to pick up a muffin, and gripe with the guy at the counter about the Giants’ game. I admired what a gorgeous day it was, and grumbled about having to

So, last night I received an email from the head of security at the Westin Peachtree Atlanta. He said that he was aware of the situation, and “regret(ted) that a follow up was not shared with you for your awareness.” He assured me that the situation will be “addressed.” I have responded, thanking him for

So, DragonCon. A great deal of fun, even if there were a higher number of “wherewhereyou?” missed connections and two bouts with a migraine. Next time, I swear, I will be more organized and set up actual “this is where and when we will be” meetings! Despite that, I had a blast - fabulous people,

I have closed my eyes, thrown a dart, and picked Twenty-Two Storys (in the Hyatt Regency) as the place to meet up on Friday. If, y’know, you were thinking about stopping by. :-) If not, I’ll just sit there with a book. Alone. Drinking. *sobs*

Last week I breezily assured myself that there was plenty of time to panic before DragonCon. And then, y’know, we had an earthquake and a hurricane thing going on*, and suddenly whee! it’s time to panic! I’m getting in Thursday night, and leaving Sunday, and things are kind of packed in-between. I hope to see

After an earthquake earlier this week, we’re also facing down a hurricane that is scheduled to hit NYC on Sunday. Unlike the earthquake, we know it’s coming. This has two aspects. 1. it allows people (and the city) to prepare. 2. it gives people time to say and do incredibly stupid things. So far, the

I passed the 30,000 word mark on the current project (the mystery a.k.a. “G&T#1”) The projected length for Draft 0 is about 70,000 words, which means I’m closing in on the halfway mark, on-schedule (the book is due in January). The only catch? No contract yet. No editor, either. This doesn’t worry me, exactly. We
