Just a quick writing pointer before we settle into the entry proper. I never give writing advice, mostly because I'm fairly certain it's impossible to codify a list of "rules," of dos and don'ts, that has any sort of objective meaning.

I agree with the exposition thing, even when writing non-fiction.

With non-fiction...well...hmmm....

Also, it just re-occurred to me how much I like your writing voice (maybe it's just your voice-voice but who knows?) on this journal.

It's pretty much my voice-voice, with a lot less profanity.

Re: Alabaster: Wolves. Checked with my comic store today, and they have my pre-order. During the conversation the clerk mentioned that the floppies had sold well, so they were ordering a number of the hardcovers in addition to my pre-order.

I haven't had a chance to read Sirenia yet. It's on the list of things-to-do-soonest.
