Help with Hugo nominations
I’m in a rocket-shaped pickle (or a pickle-shaped rocket?): I have no idea who to vote for on my Hugo ballot. I’ve got a few things I know I’m putting down, but for the most part, a lot of the … Continue reading
To publish the unpublishable
I got another rejection for a ridiculous little piece of fiction this morning I’ve been trying to get published for six months. It doesn’t fit comfortably in a lot of markets, and while it isn’t the best story I’ve ever … Continue reading
Edit-either and Edit-or
Back at work today, everything feels surreal and wrong. It’s interesting to work in a job where a new year means a completely clean slate. It’s almost enough to bleed over into other parts of my life. Almost. That being … Continue reading

I don’t know these buildings, I think I’m lost
I don’t have to make the 35 mile drive into work for the next 11 days. I’m so happy about this, I could scream. I’ve been looking forward to this stretch since October since this is the first time I … Continue reading

I’ve got burnout. I was hoping the mania induced by VP and WFC would carry me through to the end of the year, but the hyper-productivity that persisted through the end of NaNo has failed me, and until a few … Continue reading
I’ll explain everything to the geeks
