So, here we are on 12/12/12. Already. Which, after 10/10/10 and 11/11/11 might seem sort of ho-hum to a few. But, keep in mind..."we'll" not see this sort of three-part numerical symmetry again until the year 2100. And, well, that'll be a different world entirely, if it's any world at all.

Now, this from Niall Alexander's blog, The Speculative ( Read more... )

I never got the impression you were abandoning your usual style of work. Every writer needs a break from the routine now and then, to exercise other writerly muscles, so to speak. The Blood Oranges trilogy is a good vehicle to rest up for your next projects, be they Young Adult, Science Fiction, Comics or whatever you choose. I say, Write On Aunt Beast!

I've seen this a lot today, and I'm a bit confused...wouldn't January 1, 2101 be the next one? 01/01/01? Or am I completely mistaken? Please feel free to slap me upside the head if I am...

However, that second era, if I've given the impression that it has ended, I never meant to.

Your continuing work on Sirenia Digest, I think, disproves that theory.

Oh, fuck me. I'm being self-effacing.

Yeah, knock that off.

I don't get his point about the end/beginning... but regardless of what he meant your writing doesn't seem to be ending, just taking a detour.

His comments strike me as being glib for the sake of being glib, and I don't agree with his assessment of your career, much less why you wrote the Tierney trilogy. But I often do not agree with such things, as I feel many miss the point when attempting to comment on your work.

Totally uncommercial esoteric bummers guaranteed to eventually land me in a cardboard box at the corner of Crack and Whore.
I thought Sarah Crowe was in the room for a moment, there.
