::flomp:: so.tired. Chicon seems to have gone really well. My panels were pretty good, everyone else's were amazing. The writers workshop I helped run, in conjunction with a more experienced writer (Jack McDevitt) went really well. I didn't pass out or drool during my reading and people came to it. I got to pitch my first agent and picked up six new interviews for cooking the books. Yeah, totally happy. And exhausted.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Congratulations, Sox! I didn't even know Nature published short stories. How cool! It's evocative, although I can't quite figure it out.

I didn't know they did stories either. That's a wonderful story, very bare, just like the planet.

Sox, that's a brilliant little story. You do a lot with very little there, embedding the world-building in the interpersonal drama. So well done...

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Sox, awesome! DIBS ON AN INTERVIEW WHEN YOU SELL A NOVEL.
Gud, you too!
Oh, woo! Glass Heart is out. Must read this weekend, beg Amy for a follow-up! Must re-read Cold Kiss again; it's been...6 months since I lent it to my sis.

Congrats Sox!
If I manage to sell Cog, I'll be thrilled to give you an (probably not very exciting) interview :). I'll waiting on edits from my agent right now so I've still got plenty to do before Cog gets subbed.

I love it, Sox; it's really, really good.
