Author Kait Nolan wrote a blog about Kickstarters and platforms (featuring me!), which caused me to go have a look at the most successful fiction Kickstarters. NO DOMINION’s still in the top 15, which surprised and delighted me. DINOPOCALYPSE NOW, which I’ll be writing a book for next month, is still in the top 5. (And Tim Pratt’s latest Marla Mason novel is also in the top 20! Yay!) The whole thing made me kinda want to run another Kickstarter. Kinda. :) I’m not going to (despite somebody asking for…

I feel like I should be blogging on big important topics and having meaningful conversations, as many of my friends are doing. The reality, however (as I told someone yesterday when he asked my opinion on a recent tempest in a teacup), is that I lack the time and energy to devote to the big important topics and meaningful conversations that some of my other friends are pursuing.

I was sitting there twitching and going “THOSE PEOPLE ARE OVER…

I’ve got one more short story to deliver for the NO DOMINION patrons, and then a small handful of other things (the limited edition print run, the calendar, and *bemused* a performance of “Wind Beneath My Wings”) to wrap up. Now that I’m reaching the end of this project, the crazy part of me is looking back on this and thinking “It has been SO! MUCH! FUN! Let’s DO ANOTHER ONE!” In, you know.

1. Mikaela is doing an Old Races: ORIGINS give-away over on her blog! Go check it out! 2. The Disneyland for Deon page has been fixed and now accepts donations again. o.O Remember, I’ll (eventually) be writing a short story as a thank-you for helping Deon get to Disneyland, so if you want access to an exclusive story, go throw a few bucks that way and make a kid’s dream come true while you’re at it. :) 3. I’ve finished Kim Stanley Robinson’s 2312, which in some ways I liked…
