On a scale of 1-10, here are my eights and nines, the nines being starred. No tens this month. Notes: Fantastic Stories does more reprints than originals (I’m trying to skip the reprints so I have more time for originals), but the two originals were both eights this month. Nightmare does half and half on […]

Okay, last Friday, I was swamped. This Friday, I’m busy but mostly I just want to lounge about and pretend I’m shagged out after doing taxes. Or work on a TV pilot, because who would I be if I weren’t biting off more than I can chew? I didn’t have time to get the edits in

Since I don’t have anything major to promote for myself today, allow me to present some interesting bits of late: The Pikes Peak “Write Your Heart Out” half-day thingy on Valentine’s Day, which will have lots of speakers. Julie Kazimer! Jennie Marts! I will see you! The Queers Destroy Science Fiction Kickstarter only has three

One of the mantras I’ve been using over the last year: Hard things get to be hard. Going for a walk is hard. Not because walking is hard. I love to walk. But because I go, “I should be working harder, not taking care of myself.” Answering emails is hard. My Duotrope weekly update

Before Christmas, I asked Ray if there was anything she wanted–thinking about something easy, like a trip to the zoo or a video game. I want to color my hair orange, she said. Here’s the deal: Ray doesn’t @#$% around when it comes to hair. The last time I put off getting her bangs cut
After some debate, I have determined that I just have to read what’s available–there’s just no way I can conveniently handle the whole issue-that-came-out-in-January-but-says-it’s-the-March-issue thing that the Dell Magazines do. I just can’t. Also, I think I’m behind a few stories from various places…they’ll have to show up as I get to them. I’ll make sure

Where do you get your ideas from? When people ask me that–they tend not to, although there are a few sweethearts who do–I have to wonder: isn’t it obvious? I am a tool for generating ideas. First I cut things up with my agonizing powers of analysis. Then I stick them back together with my glittery gluestick

Sorry, one more before I get back to the snow. I was trying to explain about winter being magic, and realized it was missing context: not-magic. Matt is less than two years younger than I am; I think he has the exact number of months and days memorized, which, really demonstrates the whole concept of privilege:

Almost done with the first set, which should have been final oh, um, June of last year. Part the penultimate for the Wonderland arc. You can find it on Amazon/Kindle, Barnes&Noble/Nook, and other sites (forthcoming). “We were hoping for some perfectly innocent little girl to happen by so we can eat her, and instead all we

Don’t worry. I won’t forget about the snow. Every night before one of these comes out, though, I toss and turn, trying to think of the next one to write, and if I don’t agree to write the one that needs to get written next (according to my subconscious), I don’t get to sleep.
