Congrats on the writing JZ.
After some note-making, thinking, and making an outline of plot adjustments, I think I'm about ready to start on Cog rev. 4.5.
I think what my daughter's trying to say is: nyah nyah nyah nyah.

Amy, that article is, I believe, part of a genre that is becoming more common. The confessional,where the confessor is admitting to having been an enormous asshole without realizing he is revealing he is STILL an enormous asshole. I say "he" because I have yet to read a female example of this, though I'm sure it happens.

Fewer women have the luxury of being enormous assholes.
And thus I want great books, books for our own time, written by those who have staked everything on literature, not just a couple of years in Iowa City.
Bless your heart, Alex. You're working for the New York Daily News. If you had staked everything, you'd be in a garret typing feverishly.

Because books.
Isn't it priceless, Ginger? I was stuck between appalled and amused.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Enormous asshole is right, I couldn't even finish it.

If we are, the blow back is huge.In a way, I related to that guy, although I think I'm an honest reviewer and don't try to stick people with my baggage.I did think though that there are some thoughts that are not really meant for the public. Ginger, if I send you my MS is your profile address all right?

Ok, just checking. I bet I have some friends I have four e-mails for. I keep thinking I'll make everything current, but everything is more interesting than that. So, insent.

not your mom's socks.
Writer Beware ( [link] ) and SFWA are both calling out Random House's Hydra imprint. Scalzi has it too ( [link] ).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's also apparently being critiqued by Cory Doctorow on Boing Boing.
