Yesterday was good, but very exhausting. (The remnants of the flu include a tight chest, generalized soreness, and I’m still very easily tired. Apparently that’ll last for awhile.) I woke up late this morning, crawled out to the studio, and happened to glimpse a flicker of bird movement out of the corner of my eye. I […]

Up early this morning to prepare for my speaking gig at the NC Lit Fest. I have waited the CDC proscribed length of time to ensure that I am no longer significantly contagious (I wouldn’t recommend rubbing my mucus membranes, but honestly, I’d frown on that even in perfect health) and other than a terrific backache from […]

Still knocked flat by crud. Hoping to stabilize enough by tonight to make speaking engagement tomorrow, but not holding out a great deal of hope. Sunday, though. Definitely Sunday. (God, the ONE weekend I need to be well…) Kevin is threatening me with the doctor if I don’t start to improve soon. I am skeptical of the […]

(I’m starting to think I have a problem…) DragonCon is indeed very very large, but I have to say, it wasn’t nearly so alarming as San Diego ComicCon, for the simple reason that D*C is big in about six rooms and three hotels, and ComicCon […]

Whew. A day of frantic prep today, as we leave tomorrow for the Decatur Book Festival, where I’m on a panel, and thence to DragonCon, which I have never yet attended. (I’ll be presenting at the Parsec Awards Saturday night–either because I am mildly internet-notorious, or because I have really awesome Boots, it’s anyone’s guess.) Sunday, I will actually go […]

Just posted a concept piece of the Biting Pear to Patchtogether.com I’ve been meaning to do it for awhile–the incomparable Miss Monster recommended them highly–and if they approve it, I’ll post all the links so that, at long last, people can indeed get their very own Biting Pear figure. (It’s done based on pre-order numbers, […]
