Coding and Sleeping

I got my revision notes back from my agent as well as one of her readers. Plenty of work to do.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sox, that's so cool! I love your questions. I'm almost lost in how cool they are, about food and books. Well done!

oh thanks! Steven's answers are great.

A heads up - I have a roundtable coming out in Strange Horizons in a couple weeks with four writers - Elizabeth Bear, Scott Lynch, Nalo Hopkinson, and Gregory Frost - that's all about food and fiction. Just in time for Thanksgiving. Bring your antacids.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

If anyone is available to do a beta in the next day or two, let me know. I pitched an essay to Salon yesterday and I want to send in my very best work.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

Would anyone like to look at the draft for the American Kennel Club fiction contest? (Obviously not if you're afraid of dogs...) I don't need this beta till mid- January, but I thought I'd ask now. Thanks!

Art Crawl!!!

I'd love to read it. (I hadn't realized that the AKC has a fiction contest.)
