I am the geekiest geek who ever did geek, and I am going to order this. *clutches heart* Furthermore, I now have to learn how to make the really good little animated icons so I can do an animation of the last few seconds of that. *clutches heart more* I am also the slowest writer who ever did write. I’ve only got one or two chapters left (two would make it…smoother, I think, but one seems more likely), but I’m not sure I’ll write tomorrow, because I’m getting increasingly slow.…

*all* the tv
Amazon hath delivered unto us its temptations, and now we have *all* the TV to watch. And I haven’t even finished re-watching season 4 Doctor Who! Ok, I have not pushed myself as hard in the writing as I might have done. I finished a chapter and have started another, but I had to stop to find out what Pinocchio’s father’s name was (I knew it wasn’t Gestapo) and now I think I’m going to actually go ahead and finish the AAs and possibly go so far as to start…
lovely evening
Somehow the book has nearly caught up to my YTD wordcount again. That’s kind of weird. Anyway, I realized today I may have as few as 4 chapters left, which would be sort of awesome.

My uncle and cousin are over visiting, so Ted made an apple &…
2009 release schedule
After I ranted, someone in comments said: you were talking about the idea of going back to repitch the Inheritor’s Cycle as something longer than a trilogy to the publisher. I’m sort of curious if the story was spread out across a longer series — if we wouldn’t only see more detail of this nifty world, but possibly make things easier on you as being able to encapsulate smaller story arcs within each volume…and thus, you know…more frequent release dates? :) which I thought was interesting enough to write a…
This is not a zero-sum game.
Man, the whole topic of discussion regarding books being late (where GRRM is the flagship of reader bitterness) just won’t go away. So having resisted for several days, I can’t resist anymore, although I trust I’ll be preaching to the choir. Nor, mind you, do I have anything very profound to say, except books, despite a writer’s best intentions, don’t always behave. This job isn’t a science, and when a book is late I’m pretty sure there is nobody on the earth who wants it *finished* more than the writer…
