Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Jilli, I fully expect you to be invited to talkshows, because Goths are hip, they're happening, they're now, and you look so wonderful.

“Not dead yet!”

I had no idea that the publisher and editorial director were ever handed manuscripts to read.

Well... it's how my book wound up canceled. My (very baby) editor and her immediate supervising editor both loved it. They gave it to the publisher, who hated it.

So trust me, love. This is a Very, Very Good Thing.

The publisher was VERY VERY WRONG about your book. Like a big wrong thing.

So trust me, love. This is a Very, Very Good Thing.

Meep!

Always Anti-fascist!

I'd love to see Jilli on Stewart and Colbert. Or maybe taking #1 on "Countdown"(Christian Finnegan's not funny, Keith)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oh Jilli, that is fabulous news!

Anyone who's interested in what a rejected partial looks like, I just posted over at my blog. [link] (It's in two parts.)

Poor little skating story that there's no market for. Boo, market.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Procrastination

Each of us is born with an unknown sacred mission,
which Death interrupts a day before it is finished.
Death always refuses us that last day.
"You got what everyone gets - a lifetime" she says. "It's not my fault you wasted the time you could have spent fulfilling your sacred mission"

I'm assuming the character Death, from The Sandman. You know, the iconic friendly goth girl? Big hair, swirly eyeliner, ankh necklace?

Oh. Okay. Just so long as it is not an announcement of recent news, or a statement of intent....
