Today was mold day. Ugh. While much of the SF world was at the Locus Awards, I was doing battle with mold and boats. (Ok, not the most physically strenuous battle, but kind of a sneaky guerrilla, slap-it-around-and-run-like-hell kind of battle.)
We’ve been saying for weeks, “We’ll clean up the mildew in the bunk area” but [...]

Medieval Friends
Posted in Cool writerly people, other people's books, research on June 11, 2009 | 16 Comments »
I just noticed that I have two friends who are both into things medieval. Well, OK they aren’t my only friends who are and I had known this before, but they are certainly the ones who stand out from my eclectic crowd of fiends–umm… I mean friends–since they are both writers and researchers in [...]

I finally have the outline mostly complete (points exist, but order is still a little scrambled) and I’m quite, quite chuffed with it. Hehehehehe… I gets to kill stuff and blow shit up and stuff like that! Wooohooo!
