I can’t be the only one, right?

So I was reading this really cool article(with me it’d be #2 99.99999% of the time, the remaining fraction would be #7 in parallel universes where I’d go to things like that without having an anxiety attack).

It made me wonder: how abnormal or normalam I for a writer?

I mean, am I the only one whose wife would have to drag her kicking and screaming to the RITAs or Hugos or Nebulas or whatevers if I were nominated (or gods forfend, actuallywin and then have to give aspeech?!) to be fair I’dlov...

Back on track soon

Now & Forever‘s third book should be back in front of me to get back to work on by the end of April. I’m still wanting to try to write a Færie Patrolshort story forQueers Destroy Fantasyotherwise it’d be by the end of this week.

Things are looking up. Including the possibility of living in a less hellish state before the end of summer. If that happens my writing may pick up since I won’t have to drive for 30-45min to get to somewhere conducive to thought.

In any case I’m going to rough guess...

No horror

Well, Iwas, and in a manner of speaking still am, working on a vampire horror for Queers Destroy Horrorbut I ended up working on something else that’s proving far more fun and interesting, so I won’t have the horror finished before the submission deadline.

It’s not abandoned, I’ll finish it sooner or later and then I’ll decide what to do with it, but it won’t be going to QDH.

I still fully intend to get aFærie Patrol short worked out for Queers Destroy Fantasy,so there’s still that to look fo...

Goodbye Sir Terry Pratchett

[image error]I honestly don’t know what to say about Terry Pratchett‘s death. So much for he and Neil ever getting together and doing aGood Omens sequel. No more Rincewind, no more Granny Weatherwax, Tiffany Aching. The Luggage has moved on, and so many more.

Scott Lynch managed something articulate and good to say. I’ll settle for reblogging that here:

Queers Destroy Horror/Fantasy!

So there’s nothing with my name on it for Queers Destroy Science Fiction. C’est la vie. I didn’t submit anything with my name on it, so that’s to be expected.

I’m actually trying to get a couple things together for Horror and Fantasy, though. I’m writing some kind of thing involving some college students on spring break meeting vampires; I’ve a feeling that’ll be gory if I don’t get stuck and not manage to finish it on time. The one for Fantasy is going to be a Færie Patrol short adventure.

Gods, what a time

Well, stress of life is coming to an end and I’m finding myself with inclination to write even as I return to having precious little time for it (day jobs suck).

I’ve found a new job, I look slightly more forward to grating my own face with a nutmeg mill than the job in question, but I might’ve found a more appealing one that, besides being no less appealing than painful self-mutilation (dare I say more appealing? Hmmm could be, I’ll hopefully get to find out) it also gets me both out of the w...

I should write SciFi

Anyone not heard of Queers Destroy Science Fiction yet?

I think it’s both a very cool, and very sad, thing.

First off: the cool. It’s not about queer characters, though they (logically) have said if they have to choose between two equally good works they’ll probably pick the one with queer characters over the one without; it’s about queer writers. Normally my opinion is that such details are wholly irrelevant. I couldn’t care less if my favourite authors are bigger into goats than Lord Byron (i...

Binary Isn’t

Originally posted on Whatever:

There’s a very interesting piece in Nature today about how science is making it more clear than ever that the binary nature of the sexes isn’t actually binary at all — that there are a lot of gradiations in biologicalsexual development, brought on not only via chromosomal differentation (the old “XX” and “XY” thing) but a host of other processes. This is how people with XY chromosomes can (rarely) get pregnant and give birth, and how a man who fathered four chil...
