I better number this one. Well, after I mention an extraordinarily weird dream I had last night involving a secret society of women who were capable of accomplishing mind transference, and so, once a year, traded bodies.

this day on which we celebrate obesity and colonialism and the genocide of Native Americans

I adore you; you made me smile way too early in the morning.

I wondered if you would say a bit about your process for writing comic scripts - maybe in a future blog post. It's something I've long been interested in, and I study comic book scripts all the time.

I'll post more on this later, but right now there's still a lot of hush-hush.

Okay, great. No worries re. waiting, I just love hearing how writers go about creating their stories in this medium. Thanks!

I'm still getting the hang of it...again. I've forgotten a lot of what I learned while doing The Dreaming.

Happy tenth anniversary!

And a tip o' the cap to your icon. My favourite Tull's probably Songs From The Wood (followed by Broadsword); it strikes me I need to buy these albums on CD.

*a strange sort of hermaphrodite*

The best sort, surely.

My favourites remain Aqualung and A Passion Play.

It's complicated.

I'm quite glad that you still blog♥
Livejournals, Xangas, Blogspots, whatevers...they're all infinitely preferable to Twitter and Facebook and such.

Yerp.

I remember how, in the beginning, people made this apple-and-oranges comparison, but then they all abandoned blogging and ran away to the easy chatter of Facebook and Twitter, abandoning their LJs.

Happy Writerversary! I love writer blogs and yours is one of the ones for which I am particularly thankful, as you have a voice in blogging that is surprisingly different from your writing voice, both early and late for each. I love watching the difference.

Happy Writerversary!

Thank you.

both early and late for each.

That's an interesting turn of phrase.

I was having a hard time with "both early and late for both" - not only did the redundant use bug me, but it didn't seem *right* for what I meant. I do, after all, go back and forth in the history of yours, Gaiman's, and Scalzi's blogs to see how you've changed.

Okay. Got it. I've changed quite a bit, I think.
