A different kind of story….
I’m still writing like a mad bastard over here. And since it’s going well, I’m loathe to break my stride by writing up a long blog.
That said, I’ve got a few things some of you might be interested in.
A different sort of interview.
Months ago, I did an interview while I was at a convention. There’s nothing new about that, as interviews have become kinda old hat for me.
But this interview turned into something different. It didn’t end up as the sort of Q&A thing I normally do, the journalist that...

Hello everybody.
Right now I’m writing like a motherfucker, putting finishing touches on a story I’ve owed someone for more than a year, so I can jump back into working on book three.
If you’re the curious sort, the title of the story (the *working* title, I should say, as I just came up with it last night) is “The Weight of Her Desire.”
I’m not sure it’s the proper title for this particular story. But even if I don’t end up using it, I think it’s a damn fine title. I’m proud of it. Titles are h...

Preview, Review, Redo
Still recovering from the fundraiser and my recent trip to LA. Most of my time is spent catching up on sleep, writing, and spending time with my boy…
Even so, I’ve got some stuff I ought to share. Three things, actually. Because… well… y’know. Three.
First off…
…here’s a Kickstarter thing I’m involved with for next year. A cool, fantasy-themed photography calendar.
What they can’t mention on Kickstarter is that the proceeds from the project will go to support charity.
What charity, you ask? Why Wo...

Please Stand By
Man, I have to tell you guys. It feels really good not to have to post a blog up every day about the fundraiser.
Rest assured that regular blog hijinks will ensue next week. Right now, I’m taking a little bit of a rest and getting some writing done.
For now, here’s a link to an interview I did about this year’s charity calendar. I posted this on facebook before, but not here on the blog.
So if you missed it, here you go….
I think it’s the best interview I’ve done in ages. Kat put some serious tim...

Even Yet More Author Donated Books
This is aWorldbuildersBlog.
Well folks, this is it. The final blog full of books. The final day of the fundraiser.
On January 21st at midnight, Worldbuilders will be over for another year.
We’ve had a really good week. Just to give y’all some perspective, Worldbuilders has raised more money in the last four days than we did in our our entire first year.
As I write this, our total is a little more than 392,000. So it looks like 400K is well within our grasp. When we hit that, I’m personally donati...

Books from Prime
This is aWorldbuildersBlog.
Pat is still out at ConFusion, so you lucky sods get blogs from me for a couple more days. Pat is still reading the blog and comments when he can, and he’s still calling me to gush about how awesomely our auctions are going. Even though he can’t be here these last few days, he’s doing his best to keep up.
Things have been going really well, so let’s get back to the awesome prizes.

This year we were approached by more people than ever about donations. Part of this...

$150k Goal: Interview with Amber Benson: Authorship, Indie Film, and Erotica
This is aWorldbuildersBlog.
We passed the $150k goal for theinterviewalongtime ago, but the interview turned out to be especially cool, and took a little while to put together because of it. As an added bonus, at the end of the interview, we announce our $450k stretch goal, so make sure to stay till the end.
So here it is: my interview with Amber Benson.
P: Heya Amber. Thanks so much for being willing to help out with Worldbuilders this year.
A: Howdy, Mr. Rothfuss, Sir. I just want to take this...
Even More DAW Books
This is aWorldbuildersBlog.
A few announcements before we get to the goods.
Firstly: Since the blog went up yesterday, we’ve gone from $328,000 to over $363,000. We blew past the Lockless Box stretch goal and are steadily climbing our way toward the extra $100,000 for Heifer. That’s the true power you folks have, right there.
Secondly: Our True Dungeon game auctions end tonight (along with many others). Mary Robinette Kowal and Jim Hines had already agreed to play with us, but we’d like to revea...

Worldbuilders – A Pitch of Three Parts
Since our last blog Worldbuilders has raised another $20,000 dollars for Heifer International. That puts us at $328,000, soundly trouncing last year’s donation total of $311,000.
Not bad for a bunch of book-lovers and sci-fi geeks.
Speaking of, here’s a snippet of an e-mail I just got today:
Pat,
My boyfriend and I decided that instead of Valentine’s gifts, we’re donating to Worldbuilders. We’re both such adoring fans of yours and Kvothe’s, but you’ve also made us adoring fans of the children and...
