This week is a little on the crazy side, because C is at Syc Hill and my mom is recovering from surgery in town and I am on deadline. There isn't even any time for Secret Shames (that post has some fun comments if you need ideas for truly guilty pleasure-esque things to do when …
Sorry to poof out of existence again. There were page proofs for the circus book to do (lovelove the little design elements!) and then a flurry of other work and tax stuff and various deadlines large and small. And I seem to be working on a new book that came out of nowhere, but is …
Some of the passel of links I've been collecting. Need to furnish your surrealist palace? Here's the cabinet made from a taxidermied sheep you've been looking for. The endangered art of the movie novelization. Recreation of a Roman gladiator school in Austria. Alexander Chee essays always something to read: his 100 Things About a Novel …
Brain was too tired to blog much this week, because copy edits take All The Focus. (But YAY copy edits = one step closer to BOOK. I bought shoes to celebrate.) Next week should be better. She said, from within the growing shadow of an approaching (but still one month out, so ages ahaha) deadline. …
Circus daredevil book copy edits to do and second half of secret project to write and etcetera, oh my! A busy week here, so some links, and hopefully a real entry later on this week–probably about how our first couple weeks of VB6 have been going. First up is a cool promotion that Angry Robot/Strange …
Just a quick links post for today–heading into three-day working weekend on Secret Project. Still overwhelmed by everyone’s reaction to the sexism and self-promo piece. An author who doesn’t know where to get started on this whole promotion thing? The wonderful Saundra Mitchell has re-posted a series of incredibly helpful links on just that. There’s …
I promised more posting, so here I am. And while I have an actual suggested topic or two, I'm going to save them for next week…because I stayed up way too late last night hanging out with bad influence friends: I am keeping @larazontally because snow and we have gained an @maureenmcq and @christopherrowe. pic.twitter.com/mbxlXKzx1q …
How about some little pointers to interesting things for a Monday, since I need to close some tabs? I took the weekend off (gasp) (bliss), and we finally went to see Thor: The Dark World. I loved it. If you like beautiful men, well-written women, and superhero movies that aren't afraid to be funny, go …
Yes, yes, I still owe you an extra; tomorrow, my pretties. Today, let's clean out some hangovers. I'll try to get back on a regular schedule of posting at least a couple of times a week, but it's busy times so that may not always happen. I definitely owe an I Heart post soon as …
Just a reminder, I'm in Asheville at Malaprop's tonight at 7 p.m. with Megan Shepherd (The Madman's Daughter), Meagan Spooner (Shadowlark), April Tucholke (Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea). I'm sure the store would be glad to get you a signed book, even if you can't make it. Annnd now for all those …
