Movie Opinion Time
Best Lovecraft Movie of all time?
Doesn't have to be a direct adaptation or even mythos. Just the best at capturing the mood and themes. I've gotten some pretty wild answers from twitter, but i want to know what you think. Spread the question around, the more answers the better, obviously.
Thanks! -
I'm Doing Things!
Just a couple of weeks left until we're a two baby household. I'm, you know, going happily crazy with full on pregnancy brain, but that just makes life more exciting. I've got a lot of writing work I'm trying to get through. Sort of like mental nesting.
Mental nesting. Yeah, that's about what it is. So I did a post on my writing blog outlining the ( Read more... ) -
All Call to Women in Gaming
So here's the skinny.
After hosting my first panel on women in gaming I got a head full of great ideas and exciting thoughts and suggestions from women and men who game.
But it was only a start. There's a lot more to do and to talk about. I know a lot of women in the industry, I know a lot of women who game, but I don't want to start spamming you ( Read more... ) -
An Open Letter to Ms. Fisher
Common geeks, we can seriously do better than this.
Here's a blog post by Carrie Fisher in response to a bit of internet vitrol she was victim too. I normally feel like 'never ever respond to that crap.' But in this case, Fisher was right to do so and showed grace and humor while doing it.
So, I wrote her an open letter on my other blog. You can ( Read more... ) -
The Public Option
It's just this simple. There are terrorists in the US trying to pretend they are the only True Americans. They threaten public debate. They carry guns and wave them about while threatening to harm our elective officials as well as anyone who tries to debate with them. They are full of hate, ignorance, and violence ( Read more... ) -

Jet Pack is go, finally, and is chock full of fantastic writing by three men whose talents I greatly admire. Every time I read something one of ( Read more... ) -
Book Review: The Betrayal
I wish I had more time to read. Isn't that the writer's lament? We spend all our time writing (or cleaning the kitchen to avoid writing,) and hear over and over again that 'if you write, you have to read.' A good friend of mine had something of an argument against that old trope you can read here.
Still, I actually like reading, and so I still wish ( Read more... ) -
Free Range Writers
So first of all, go here if you want to read my article on parenting and gaming. Fun stuff to write, neat magazine to have written it for and all thanks (like so much else in my life these days) to Matt McFarland. (Thank you, Matt!)
So I’ve had some time to process the Writers’ Convention I went to this weekend. I have a notebook full of notes ( Read more... ) -
Fearless
One day I watched my almost-eight month old defy death. Nothing tragic really, she just decided to crawl off of the edge of the bed and plummet head first to the ground.
I was watching, mind you, and got my hands on her fat little trunk before she got all the way over the edge, but it was clear her intent. Yes, she wanted to crawl off the bed. No, ( Read more... ) -
It's after 1, how about something nice?
I could be totally wrong here, but I sort of feel like Henry Rollins exists so it is physically impossible to hate men (or even mankind) all the way. He makes me feel humble everytime. This one brought me to tears. (Pregnancy: Leading cause of weak weepy Mena.)
Somewhere someone is thinking of you. Someone is calling you an angel. This person is ( Read more... )
