Confidential to cataptromancer:

Hey, look who's reading at Barnes & Noble tomorrow night. Here's your big chance! Did you get her on your list yet?

A P.S.A.:
Just in case anyone on my flist reads Locus and was curious about that thing in the "People and Publishing" section of the October issue: no, I haven't moved to Roc; yes, the rest of it is (mostly) true. I'll elucidate for the rest of you... um, soon. I've got a bit of a backlog, if you haven't noticed.

About that backlog: it has not ( Read more... )

[I originally posted this early this morning, but that entry seems not to have gone anywhere, so I’m trying again. Apologies if you get this twice.]

( An absurdly long catch-up entry, part 1 of 2: work life )

Oh, flist. I really do miss all of you in LJ land, and yet I've spent months and months being incurably busy. It's nothing personal, I swear it.

Luckily, my new roommate musetoself just posted about the most exciting thing that's happened to me lately. She argued that this sort of info might call for a NSFW tag, but I will have none of that puritanical ( Read more... )

I know you haven't seen me here in ages, and I am—really I am!—in the middle of a massive (or, at least, prodigiously bulleted) list of all the things I've been up to for the past three months. But it has become surpassingly clear that there's no way I'm finishing that before the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art's fourth annual MoCCA Art Festival, ( Read more... )

I.

You know, I've never actually done one of these meme things before. I mean, even when I enjoy reading them, I'll always pass them by, figuring that if I can't manage to get you original content in a timely fashion, then why would you want me to waste time being a sheep? But everyone else's lists have been so enlightening, and I have a few answers ( Read more... )

Ugh.

I had a light lunch on Wednesday, and wound up so distractingly hungry by 3:30 that I finally gave in and went across the street for a bagel. When I got back, I dropped my wallet and the manuscript I’d been reading on my desk and worked until it was time to meet darkling1 for a pre-KGB dinner at Sea Thai. Shortly after we were seated I noticed that I ( Read more... )

One would think that, faced with actual developments in my life for the first time in ages, I would have made a point of posting about them sooner, no?

Oh well.

I’d mentioned a few entries ago that there had been some upheaval at Tor. Now that the news has been out for awhile, it’s safe to share it here: Jim Minz, one of our editors— ( Read more... )

Thanks muchly to whoever just anonymously bought me a LiveJournal account (yes, I'm vastly curious who you are, but if alg's considerably worthier plea didn't unearth her donor, I don't suppose mine would either). I actually have no idea what kind of magic powers this paid-ness entitles me to, but it will be fun reading up on it when I get a moment.

As much for my purposes[1] as yours, here are some of the things I'm up to for the next few months. The events in gray are tentative at this point.

• 1/10: Kimya Dawson house show. Secretly, I'm only posting this list right now on the off chance that someone will reply in, like, the next 10 minutes and tell me they want to go to this show with me. ( Read more... )
