I was traveling this week when the whole Elliot Rodgers thing broke, and I only watched from afar as #YesAllWomen appeared on the scene. It’s an ugly thing. My traveling entailed a lot of driving, and not so much typing, though, and that leads to thinking time. Here are some things I’m thinking: I remember […]

Fixing Inconsistencies
Back in January I attended Confusion up in Detroit, and sat on a fun panel that was focused on discussing how to deal with inconsistencies in your work. I enjoyed this one because my panel mates (Kameron Hurley, Howard Tayler, Janet Harriett, Catherine Shaffer and Christine Purcell) were all pretty danged fun, and I learned […]

Read More ...Dictation
A few months ago I talked to Kevin Anderson about his use of dictation to help him write. He’s well-known for this technique, and is rumored to plot whole novels out while he hikes the Rockies. I want to stay active, and had plans (yeah, right) to do a lot of walking in the afternoons, […]
Read More ...Two bits of good news!
I suppose I’m a couple days late in posting this here, but I’ve had a couple nice things happen that I suppose I should put here as a consolidation for those who don’t follow every bit of my online social presence (and WHY NOT?).

Read More ...J.C. Andrijeski’s Rook
So, yeah, one of the great things about our week off (back so long ago, now), was that I had some time to actually read. I got through a couple novels, and a couple novellas in that short span. I wanted to talk a little about one of the novels here, because if you have […]
