"I won't let you let me down so easily."

Wonderful, booming thunderstorms out there. Lightning. Thunder. Hard rain. The dregs of Isaac, that storm come all the way from West Africa to die above New England.

Now, COMMENTS!

Yesterday, I spent hours searching for a story for Sirenia Digest #81, and found "Our Lady of Arsia Mons." Then I wrote a mere 596 words. But I'll do better today

If I were using my LJ to promote my work or save me from being lonely and bored, I would be very disappointed in it.

Bingo.

In the event that LJ should shut down (which I don't really see happening soon, but given the transitory nature of the 'Net, isn't out of the question) you could archive your journal on Dreamwidth.org: they even have a handy-dandy little import function that allows you to import content from several different blogging platforms.

Most of it is already archived there. And everything from Blogger is on PDF.

I've been scouring online booksellers, looking for more of your books (the local brick-and-mortar bookstores are hit-or-miss), and my most recent find, via Alibris.com, "Tales of the Woeful Platypus" turned up in the mail today.

And now my brain is singing "Hail, 'Tales of the Woeful Platypus'!" to the tune of "Hail, Knight of the Woeful Countenance" from the musical "Man of La Mancha". What the hell, brain???

Interested in what you have to say about GW2. I never jumped ship from WoW for Rift. But all the accounts in the house are now suspended. We're all bored and the kiddos are pushing for GW2.

I love your controversial stuff. But, I also love the details on the writing life, your trips to the sea, what the silly cat(s) are doing, what Spooky's making....all of it. Heck even what you feel (and state) is utter drivel, I find curious. It's all interesting to me. And yes, it encourages me to purchase your work even faster than sometimes I can read them (I'm behind on two Sirenia Digests).

Part of LJ's thing is that, I suspect, it's not the new shiny and the crew that runs it hasn't done anything to make it that way. Of course, I tend to not like the new shiny all the time, and love ending my day or taking my lunch break with deeper exploration that's contained on the pages of my Friends List of LJ. Including you. Most certainly yours.

I love your controversial stuff.

I hate sounding like a pussy, but my nerves just can't take much of it. I makes me livid. It makes me...not nice. And Spooky needs me to be nice.

And yes, it encourages me to purchase your work even faster than sometimes I can read them (I'm behind on two Sirenia Digests).

Well, thank you. Thant's the idea.

I'm with Corucia- late night thunderstormss are one the perks of being alive on this planet- lightning is only the single coolest thing ever... hmm, let's see, a massive burst of energy that is hotter than the surface of the sun and condensed into a bolt roughly the diamater of a nickel, and that we totally do not understand. Cloning- got it. Lightning- umm...And looks insanely cool. I love it when Zeus is pissed

I chose Kelenken, a Phorusracid

I was just thinking about Keleken...odd.

If I had the money, I would be offering you several commissions.

a)I actually spoke to other people

This is why I think I'm not more successful than Neil Gaiman. I don't talk to other people (this doesn't count, as you can't hear my voice).

I suppose it's just an indicator of how far I've drifted from the mainstream-- or from whatever facsimile of it exists online-- but I've rarely found anything you write to be at all controversial.

but I've rarely found anything you write to be at all controversial.

Regardless of my fiction, the LJ is pretty tame.
