The plumbers finished, and we're just waiting on the contractor to schedule us to start putting the walls and ceiling together again. I spent most of the afternoon cleaning up dust that didn't get picked up by the dust sheets or the shop vac, but there's a lot more to go. (The electric saw and the drill they had to use created a lot of dust.) Insurance is thankfully going to cover a lot of it, but we still have to pay around $3000, so if you know anybody who might be interested in cheap ($2.99 US) DRM-free reprint ebooks of The Element of Fire, The Death of the Necromancer, City of Bones, Wheel of the Infinite on Kindle, Nook, or Kobo. (It does help to buy and rec the other books too, but with the reprints I get paid monthly by the retailers. With the others, if the book has earned out, it might be six months to a year before I get paid.)

when you contend that realistic worldbuilding requires the inclusion of certain specific inequalities in order to count as realistic, you’re simultaneously asserting that such inequalities are inherent to reality

* Terrible Minds: Writers And Misinformation, Or: "How Did You Publish?"
This entire writing-and-publishing thing is shot through with pulsing black veins of misinformation. That’s not good for anybody, writer or publisher.

Book Rec:

I loved these fantasy regency MG novels by Stephanie Burgis. The second one Renegade Magic is now out in paperback. I thought they were just as readable and fun for adults as for kids.
