I wrote this piece of post-apocalyptic fanfiction about Goodnight Moon. If you read it, thank you. I have been overwhelmed by all the wonderful responses, and I'm thrilled that so many people connected with the story. This post has all the DVD extras and behind the scenes geekery I've been keeping quiet about for a month, so if you're wondering how ( Read more... )

I've been so busy that I slipped up on posting last week when Stone Telling #2 went live. As with the first issue, I got to interview some of the contributors about their work. Have I mentioned that I love my job ( Read more... )

I think I mentioned that I'm on a Grand August Roadtrip Adventure, right? This is due to a confluence of things I needed to attend just far enough apart geographically and chronologically that the only sensible course of action was to drive around all month. A week into the trip, I have lost all sense of normal time. How did it get to be Wednesday ( Read more... )

This week, our interview guest is Debra Killeen, who talks about religion and magic in fiction, her wish for an artist to design a tarot deck based on her books (Are you an artist? Her publisher is potentially interested in selling the tarot deck! Talk to Debra if that sounds like your thing!), and the helpfulness of cats in the writing process ( Read more... )

My brain is not working yet, and I have a full slate today, so no real entry today. This is just to say I am alive. And tired. And I had a lovely time meeting all kinds of new people and seeing old friends.

Also, giant thank you to everyone who came to the VP reading. gjules, gwynnega, magistera, and all the non-LJers who sat in the crowd: It was really reassuring to ( Read more... )

Today, I walked home from Davis Square. It was way too hot out, but the red line was experiencing delays due to a disabled train, and the tunnels aren't air conditioned, so I figured I might as well spend the time walking in the hot outside instead of standing miserably in the hot inside ( Read more... )

Yesterday, I spent a good chunk of time reading an internet flame war, which was pretty dumb of me, but sometimes it happens. Then tiboribi (who is staying with us for a couple of weeks in between leases) came home and said, "Work was so boring, I ended up reading this internet flame war all afternoon." There was some mutual facepalming after that, and I ( Read more... )

The latest book in the altered book round robin exchange is titled Altered Verses, and is on the theme of poetry. It was started by my friend Stephen Rowe, who is an excellent poet (and even has a book of unaltered verses out). I very briefly considered composing something of my own to include in this book, but once I stopped to think a bit more, ( Read more... )

If you have a mind to click through, you can hear spooky poems by several members of the Science Fiction Poetry Association. My poem, "Dead Air" is in fantastic company, and I've also got a few pictures in the sidebar. Is it totally obvious that Autumn is my favorite season? Because, yeah.

Also, my favorite leaf from yesterday's walk:
