Yesterday isn't the sort of day that's easy to blog about. It was the humdrum sort of day that most professional writers have most days.

We are only two chapters and the "editor's epilogue" from being finished with the galley pages for The Red Tree. I expect I'll be able to get them back into the mail tomorrow. I might have finished with the page ( Read more... )

'Here's a question: Is there some relatively simple way that I can archive all my LJ and Blogger entries, somewhere less likely to go poof than either Blogger or LJ?'

Well, there's ljbook.com, which saves your entire LJ as a ginormous PDF.

If I were you, though, I'd be thinking about a complete copy-and-paste of the Low Red Moon journals into a word doc, tedious as that sounds. It's the Only Way to Be Sure.

One thing you could also do while you're doing that is compile all your thoughts on movies you've seen into a chapbook which might be titled Caitlín Kiernan's Watching, after Unca Harlan's own book, and yeah, I can already hear you laughing hollowly and saying 'Nnnno,' so, no. I'd totally buy it, though! And so would Zac Efron!

That's sort of what I was thinking.

Thing is, Unca Harlan's commentary is far more entertaining than mine.

Naah, all you have to do is add sentences like 'This reminds me of the time I nailed a studio exec's head to a coffee table' or 'And then I mailed a dead gopher to the publisher fourth class.'

Gods, I love the gopher story.

One reads the gopher story and thinks 'This is a crazy fucker. But he's my kind of crazy fucker.'
