Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Gus, Minneapolis has a huge scifi/fantasy community. Neil Gaiman hangs out there. Google it.

Allyson, I'm on it. Back with feedback shortly.

Allyson, you've got mail. And that's a damned good essay. These last two are, literally, my favourites so far. The time pressure may suck, but damn, woman, you're producing beautiful stuff.

It's writing while in terrible pain.

Next time I fall into some money, I'm buying a decent office chair.

Costco has superb office chairs. Mine's mostly taped together these days - bloody cats - but it saved my arse, not to mention my back. $100 at costco, high back adjustable arms, excellent lumbar support. It's no joke, especially not with the MS.

Kate sells me some Kinkaids - or Daymond's thing does what we all think it's going to do - I'm buying me an Aeron. My back loves those.

Meep. (fangirl)

Just been going back and forth in email with Bela Fleck. He's about to climb into Famous Flower of Serving Men.

(total and complete wibble)

Am going to ask for Kinkaids blurb. But BELA FLECK. I adore the Flecktones and Strength in Numbers.

Meep.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Jings, Gus, sorry about your cover art, dude.

...Deb, have you seen this? Because I think it's truly fabulous.

Huh. I think my taste in photos of me differs from the rest of the universe's taste, because, well, um, no.

Because books.

Gar, I already responded.
