I think that I am writing postcards to myself.

Increasingly, I find even the prospect of self-promotion to be distasteful. I know that I have to do it. All writers have to do it. Even the high-priced, classy writers with genuine pimps usually find it necessary to stoop to the self-promotion that's the only option for literary crack whores like me ( Read more... )

Vis a vis writing postcards, I trust you've seen the HP Lovecraft postcard interview (currently up on BoingBoing and other places).

Good luck with the reading goal. I'll probably mine your list when it shows up at year's end for reading list ideas.

This weekend's 'Classic Movie, with Daughter' was 'Die Hard'. We decided to explore early Alan Rickman; she'd seen the Harry Potters and 'Quigley Down Under', but with this one we went back to the beginning.

Sometimes I wish I could devote some time to RP - I enjoyed RP in AD&D when I was in high school, spending more time at it than I care to think about now.

Nope. But I actually tend to avoid that sort of thing.

It would be interesting to have you.

We tried a bit with the aborted SL Lovecraft idea a few years ago. Of course, if the Fed science funding keeps dropping the way it has been recently, I may have a lot more time on my hands in the near future.

As I said in my email response, let me know if there's anything I can help with.

Let us hope this is not the case.

Oh, shit. Sorry. Thanks for the reply. Turned out, I was fine on my own. But I ought have replied.

No problem - I wasn't sure if it was needed immediately or if it was for a future project. Feel free to consider it a standing offer.
