I didn't know they did stories either. That's a wonderful story, very bare, just like the planet.
I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

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...

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.

I'm really glad to hear it, Liese!

Because books.
I just found it -- it's here -- and it's really beautiful. So spare, but really emotional. I loved it.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Sox, spare is right, elegant, almost poetic in the way every word earns its place. And very hard-hitting in that way that you can't look directly at some things, but they nevertheless leave your accepted world view in shards.
