Cold-Blooded Necessity
I haven't previously weighed in on the Great Pay Rate Debate triggered by this post by John Scalzi* because a) I'm busy, and b) I don't care. Which is not to say that the pay issue is irrelevant — it's definitely relevant, and important. I just don't care about it. It's not [...:]

Rebooting
Apologies for the silence here lately — but there's been a good reason for it. I haven't talked a lot about Book 3 of the Inheritance Trilogy here much because it's been oddly fragile in my head. See, in the days before book deals and deadlines and whatnot, I was like most writers [...:]

So much to say
…about Book 3 and the writing process and so on, but that'll have to wait because I'm writing like a madwoman right now. But resting my carpal tunnels by reading other people's blogs, so saw this incident mentioned in several places, and all over every mailing list I'm on. Basically, SF author Peter [...:]

Gobbling and gabbling
Am in the midst of making rosemary-garlic paste for a decidedly nontraditional Thanksgiving meal: me and friends who are pulling a Palin and "going rogue" from our families for the day. Potluck, but since I'm the host I'm handling the biggies: turkey and a standing rib roast, dressing, and have bought a [...:]

The Harlequin Horizons Thing
As you know Bob(s), I'm a member of the Romance Writers of America (RWA). This is because a) there's romantic content in many of my books, so there's an obvious crossover of interests; b) I read and enjoy romance on occasion; and c) RWA is simply a kickass organization — quite possibly the most [...:]

Everybody's Doin' It: NebDo!
(Ugh. OK, yeah, that was bad. I blame the lack of coffee.)
In the category of "All my friends are shilling their Nebula-eligible shorts so I'll do it too!" for a thousand, Alex:
