Sometimes You Have to Stay Up Late and Write Stuff Down

Feb 18, 2011 02:33

I got off the subway this evening at my usual stop, from my usual position at the door directly ahead of the conductor, which lets me off right in front of the exit.

Woulda been more fun with a chance to meet you in person at last.

I meant to ask at Boskone -- where would you recommend I start? I see Voice and Library Volume 1, and I don't know if there's any overlap.

You could read Voice without reading Vol. 1, but I think you'll get more out of it if you read 'em in order of original publication. Or at least read Vol. 1 first -- I don't think there's anything in Vol. 2 that would directly affect your experience of Voice.

Lovely to see you as well. I can't thank you enough for the crit on MC.
