Tales of Mere Existence
So a couple days ago a friend sent me a link to a video.
And I thought, "Yeah. That's pretty much it in a nutshell."
I'm assuming a lot of you already know about Tales of Mere Existence. But if you don't, well, here you go.
I've loved Lev Yilmaz's stuff for years. In fact, I feel a [...:]

Locus Magazine
I've been cutting back on conventions this year so I can focus on revisions and my pretty new baby.
I'd even decided to skip Wiscon this year, even though it's in Madison, which means it's practically in my backyard.
But then I found out my friend Nnedi was going to be Guest of Honor there this year. [...:]

Fanmail Q&A: Revision
Pat,
I know from your comments on facebook and your postings on the blog that you're busy revising. What's more, that you've been doing it for months. What I'm wondering is what, exactly, you do when you're revising that it takes you so long to do it? Please don't get me wrong. This isn't another bitchy [...:]

Ultimate Chalupa
So I'm driving by Taco Bell the other day, and the sign outside says, "Ultimate Chalupa."
Naturally, I'm intrigued. Not just any old chalupa, not even a Really Good Chalupa. They're selling the Ultimate Chalupa. The end-all be-all of chalupas. How can I pass up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
So I lane-change across three lanes of traffic and [...:]

Closure
Those of you who have been reading the blog for a while might remember several months ago when I posted up a general call for help.
The short version of the story is this. A reader sent me a very polite invitation to her high-school graduation party, and since I was going to be in the [...:]

Lesbian Unicorns
Pat,
I had to miss San Diego ComicCon this year. It's my first one I've missed in five years. Many tears.
What did you think of it compared to last year? This was only your second ComiCon, wasn't it?
Michelle
This was only my second ComiCon, Michelle. But I have to admit that it felt [...:]

An interview with Sandeep Parikh
So while I was out at Comic-Con, I did a little interview with Sandeep Parikh, creative genius behind the Legend of Neil.
Honestly, I was more than a little nervous. I've been on the receiving end of a lot of interviews, but I've never given one on camera before.
Sandeep is an incredibly cool guy, and tolerated [...:]

Comic-Con Schedule and a Chance to Ask Your Questions.
I'm a couple days away from leaving for San Diego ComicCon. Since I decided to scale back on my conventions this year because of Oot, this is one of the few big cons I'm hitting this year.
Since San Diego is big to an insane degree, I figured I'd post up my schedule here. Normally when [...:]

Processing…
We're still working on the whole t-shirt thing over here. We got around three or four hundred submissions, and it's taking a while to winnow them down and tweak some of the designs.
Looking through the submissions has been a lot of fun for me. The only thing that keeps it from being pure joy is [...:]

A New Addition to the Family – Russia
Every once in a while, I get a package from my agent. And honestly, it's always a little like Christmas.
I spent so long trying to get an agent, you see. Now, not only do I have an agent, but he's a really good agent. And the people he works with at the agency are really [...:]
