I got back from Worldcon a week ago, and first thought I’d recover from the con, then I thought I’d formulate an epic post, then I got distracted by the edits back from my agent about the novelization of Heaven, and then suddenly a week’s gone by, people are now blogging about the cons from last weekend, and I still haven’t written word one.

Every friday I have a standing lunch with some friends. We’ve been doing this for years. It’s a good group to talk with, laugh with, and bounce things off of.

On Friday, Eric was telling us about this new project. I won’t go into details, cause it’s his project, but we were talking about the pros and cons; how much it would cost, who has already ( Read more... )

Wow, Tuesday’s post about social networking and the link caused some discussion! I want to bring up a couple of points.

No, I’m not keeping up with Amazon. blame final cut. Blame it too for the dropped frames. BLAME EVERYONE BUT ME.

And it’s not Fidgert introducing the podcast (which is what the credits say), it’s Podcasting’s Rich Sigfrit. Sorry, guys. the Fidgert video died.

Wheee. This is a rush. Latest Amazon rank- #20 in books.

• New Suicide Girls column! A lot of people have asked me how I like my new Kindle that my mom got me for my birthday. Well, I’ll tell you… (standard caveat- possibly NSFW ads, SG is, pictorially, an adult site, but my column is clean)
• I love tea, and I love podiobooks, not to mention a lovely Irish accent, so it goes without saying that I had a lot ( Read more... )
