I just got the COYOTE ARC in the mail. It’s pretty cool, and has the Library Journal quote on the cover instead of the Charles de Lint quote. My name’s smaller on it, and there’s no paw print or “Book 3”, and the internal fonts are different. V. interesting to my tiny mind. :) In other news, the hamburger is still frozen, making a dinner of meatloaf somewhat difficult to produce. I may punt to frozen fish & chips, rather than go spend money at the corner store. I have…

writing is hard.
Finished reading HoC for revisions. The good news is that everything is minor, except the one very large thing that I basically feared was a problem right from the beginning but couldn’t see how to fix and so hoped nobody else would notice it, more or less. For some reason, that never works. *squinchy face* Unfortunately, I still don’t know how to fix it. It’s a basic Second Book In A Trilogy problem.

So there’s this huge bruhaha going on in the SF/F community right now. Reigning VP of the Science Fiction Writers of America Howard V. Hendrix posted a madly controversial commentary about the SFWA and, among other things, writers giving work away on the internet. You can read the post here, along with all the ranting it’s produced. There are a couple of money shots in it, including a bit where he calls people who post professional fiction online “pixel-stained technopeasant wretches”. The SF community being what it is, they seized…
