ISBW #333 - Writing Hooks // Seanan McGuire Interview
I talk about what it means to be a "wanna-be," and then delve into hooks, using Kameron Hurley's The Mirror Empire for example. Fantastic book. Go get it. Then I interview Seanan McGuire, from way back.
Relevant links: The Mirror Empire, Seanan's Blog
What I'm writing now*: We Need the Eggs: detectives, wetware, and roller derby. Its status is proposal-under-edit-after-agent-comments. PUEAAC, if you will.
What I'm reading now: The Mirror Empire
*Like, right this second, today. I have many irons in the fire, but this isn't the place to list them. So if I list something else later, don't think I write books within days.

ISBW #331 - In Memory, Grief, Writing
I am recovering from London, deaths in the family, and deaths in the extended friendship family. I broke my magic spreadsheet chain. It's been rough.
LonCon was awesome, though, and I will cover that at some future time.

I have a couple of horses in this Amazon vs Hachette race, and although I will admit I don't fully understand all the details, I will say that I really dislike absolutes.
On a brighter note, we talk to Kirsty Logan!
