Wherein I feel Almost Famous (but not in the movie sense...)

(Cross-posted to, or from, or in the general vicinity of, the Wyrdsmiths blog)

So, the exciting news of the day, for me, is that I am the featured Big Idea author over John Scalzi's "Whatever" blog. (Makes me feel almost a teeny bit famous, you know?)

It was one of those pieces where I knew precisely what I wanted to write about the moment I sat ( Read more... )

writing, flogging the book

Being on Scalzi's blog made me famous (well, for 15 minutes anyway), FYI... So don't discount it. :)

Yes, but I suspect there will be less popular indignation regarding my mention there (or, at lease, I hope so, since it would probably be targeted at me, and not someone else...). See, now, if some had stolen one of the dishes I describe in my book and posted a recipe without attribution, THEN we'd be talking numbers! :P

I will happily use what's left of my fame to promote your book. I also pre-ordered the digital version. ;)

Hey, I didn't know you were born in Fargo. (I also didn't know you had a web site.)

ya learn sumthn' new ev'ry day.

Yeah, it's kind of amazing how I don't play up that Fargo thing more, ya know? :P

I'm thinking the web site will be migrating soon. I'm just not feeling the love for WordPress. The URL & overall hosting service will stay the same, but the look will be changing at some point.

Oh, btw, while I wait for your book to come out, I am currently reading "Triumff" by Dan Abnett (now that Karl has finished it).

I tried reading Triumff. Couldn't get past the first fight scene. We now have it in the Nordskogen "Library" bookcase at the Oakshott.

It is hard to contain my excitement. :-) If I didn't need the days in between for work, I'd be wishing for Tuesday already.

(psst - the dates for convergence on your site are a bit... extensive. If they are accurate, I'm going to be burning more vacation days than planned!)

Yup, typo. Fixed. Thanks! :)
