Hundreds of Gorgeous Books from Subterranean Press
This is a Worldbuilders blog.
Over the years, nobody has supported Worldbuilders as much as Subterranean Press.
Back in my first year, before the fundraiser even had a name, Subterranean called me up and asked if they could send me books.
And they did. They sent hundreds of gorgeous, signed, limited edition books. When that happened, it made [...]

Machine Gun Q&A #5
A while back, I offered people the chance to ask me questions in the comment section of the blog. Nothing profound, just fun little questions that would never get asked in a real interview. I think of it as a machine gun interview.
It turned out to be fun, and I've done a [...]

Link Salad: Worldbuilders and Waterparks…
So I'm kinda swamped right now with one thing and another. I'm struggling manfully with NaNoWriMo, trying to get ready for Worldbuilders, and working on putting new inventory in Worldbuilder's online store: The Tinker's Packs.
And, on top of it all, I'm attending a convention this weekend in Wisconsin Dells.
I wasn't planning on going [...]

San Diego 2011: Thursday Part II – Wootstock
This is part of my San Diego ComicCon diary from 2011. It's sort of the middle of the story.
If you want the whole story, you might want to start reading at the beginning. Other parts include: Wednesday, Thursday Part I, and Friday Ad Infinitum.

Before I tell the story of Wootstock, I should give [...]

Fanmail FAQ: NaNoWriMo
Pat,
Do you know about National Novel Writing Month? I've tried it for three years now, though I've only ever managed to make 50,000 words one time back in 2009.
I was just wondering if you'd ever tried it. In some ways, it seems like it might be like your thing. But the more I [...]

Fanmail FAQ: Size Matters or Breaking Up is Hard to Do…
Several months ago, I got a bunch of e-mails concerning the German translation of Wise Man's Fear. They all had a similar theme: specifically, people were upset that the book was going to be broken into two volumes.
Whenever a bunch of people contact me asking the same question, I try to respond on the blog. [...]

The New Coolness or How I Accidentally Published a Calendar
So a couple months ago, I went to Worldcon in Reno. While I was there, I had dinner with some friends of friends. One of those people was artist and illustrator Lee Moyer.
I like graphic artists. I like them because they do something I can't, which effectively makes them magicians.
They're also fun to have dinner [...]

FAQ: Why haven't you been posting on your blog?
Well, it looks like this blog isn't going to write itself, so I guess I should just get it over with. Like tearing off a Band-Aid….
My dad has cancer.
That's the reason I haven't been writing in the blog for the last two months. It's also the reason that I've canceled the European book tour I [...]
