Wiscon
While at dinner last night with Steph and the Old Man, it was pointed out to me that memorial day weekend is THIS WEEKEND. This knowledge took a deep moment to sink in while I stared at the calendar. “I need to change my plane tickets, then,” I said calmly. Because for some reason, I’d
The Check is Arrived!
I’ll be able to pay rent in June after all! 3K pays off the credit card, leaving me with one credit card to go! The other 2.5K goes onto the other credit card (and 3K goes into the bank for taxes). This last CC is the big one, the albatross (the one that got me

The Contract Arrives!!!!!
Happy author~~!!!!! Happy contract! Description of the future goods to be delivered…. For those who can’t read the smallish text, it reads: “Each work shall be a Middle Eastern-inspired fantasy novel featuring organic technicians, brawling mullahs, swarms of magician-trained locusts, and a former government assassin turned bounty hunter.” Yes, yes they will. I love my

Dear Hobb
Um. Two words: Time management. Writing is writing. Manage your writing in the way that makes the most sense for you. If you’re bleeding all over blogs and not bleeding enough in your fiction, stop blogging. If you get satisfaction from both, manage both. If you write about insurance and tax prep at your day
