Expressed as a poem in Tweets: VictorMilan OK, the college football player’s actual name is Jevan Snead. But what I heard is *Jeggan Snee*: Best Pirate Name EVER! (6 minutes ago from web) VictorMilan Avast! I be Jeggan Snee, Terror of the Seven Sea! (Grammar be’n’t my strong suit, arr.) (4 minutes ago from web) [...] Okay, it wasn’t that adverse. It was hot enough, despite the swamp cooler, to wilt the cat. I looked like this too. And in spite of the heat I finished the massive chapter-by-chapter, scene-by-scene summary of The Dinosaur Lords. How massive? It’s 25,198 words by itself. All right. I know that news will frustrate some of you. [...] Randolph Carter* of Grinding to Valhalla interviews me on Wild Cards, gaming, and the craft of writing. Results are pretty good, think I. Please give it a look and, should you feel moved, pass it on. And speaking of Wild Cards … over on his Not A Blog blog, That American Tolkien Guy reveals the [...] … Sara’s totally gonna kick my butt. So in her comment yesterday to this post, she said: I shall gently remind you that TWICE now you have alluded to said wonderful news yet have neglected to deliver it. TELL ME TELL ME TELL ME TELL ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My response was to tell her that I soon would, and mimic an [...] Santa Fe journalist and music maven Steve Terrell clued me into what he rightly termed this revoltin’ development from eMusic: they’re raising their prices. Yes, now. What a bright idea! So I was moved to write them the following in response: Dear eMusic: While I’ve enjoyed and championed you service for years despite faults such as dubious tech [...] Now there’s a snappy blog post title. I am the King of SEO!
Okay. Maybe not. Under the circumstances, it’s as close an approximation to a snappy title as I can muster. Deal. First, though: enjoy the swell cartoon above, courtesy of Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal. Thanks to haikubica for turning me onto SMBC when [...] Every now and then, as Johnny Winter puts it, I know it’s kind of hard to tell.
This is alive and well? Okay, I hope I’m doing better than that. Or at least look better. Just a quick status update, the gist of which has been delivered. I’m driving hard to finish a book on [...] A lot of things have been crowding forward to be written about here. Most urgently, maybe, the explosive success of a variation of the technique for getting myself to write more I discussed in this post. What’s been crowdin’ ‘em back, mainly, is the need to, well, write. As in: stuff I’ll get paid for. But [...] John Kovalic writes and draws the popular – and highly amusing – webcomic Dork Tower. He’s co-creator of popular games such as the Munchkin series and the immensely popular Apples to Apples. Plus he’s a heck of a nice guy. So last week he posted on Twitter about the book he was reading: Agincourt: Henry V [...] Normally the day after I finish a big project – and the draft of The Dinosaur Lords was, candidly, the biggest in my life, let alone my career – I’m depressed and sad. Separation anxiety transmutes to postpartum depression, to sling the psychobabble. This morning as arranged Joe called a little after 9:30 about meeting for [...] |
