"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Hey, new and exciting failure options! This year I have absolutely no chance of getting it done, because I'm going to be traveling three out of the four available weeks. So I should try it! No pressure, right? And who knows, maybe I'll get a ton of writing done sitting at my convention booth.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
That's how I feel: I'm almost certain to fail, so: no pressure! Also, it's impossible to write anything good that fast, so: I can suck!
Except I can't convince myself that it's okay to (a) fail, (b) suck, and (c) do both at the same time.
Perfectionism is the reason I don't write, and the reason I should do NaNoWriMo, and the reason I probably won't.
I suck.

Seventeen worlds of this.

Ha. I am not a perfectionist. I have bins and bins full of notebooks with really genuinely lousy writing in them. I enjoy it, though.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie
So two authors were visiting my school this week: Justine Larbalestier and her husband Scott Westerfeld. They turned out to be amazingly funny and snarky, and after hanging out with them today at lunch, we discovered a mutual passion...for Buffy, of course. Justine in particular has written several essays about the show.
In any case, the reason I'm posting this here is that I talked up Allyson's book, and Justine is really interested in reading it when it comes out. So yay! Free publicity if they like it, Allyson...which of course they will.
Also, Scott's Midnighters series is evidently an homage to Buffy. Tres cool.

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
That was holy shit very nice of you!

I told Justine about the one you recorded at ND's last year (and you are going to send that to TAL soon, right? 'Cuz I want to hear it again), and she got all excited. Apparently she's been involved in fandom since the early 90's and did her doctoral dissertation on the Futurians.

Allyson, Deb asked me to tell you that, if she gets a chance, she's gonna "pimp your book" to somebody she knows at her signing thing tonight.

ooooh. This is all so exciting! I got the second half of my advance, today, which means my book is officially accepted, and also that I really have to get kicking on these edits.
