The Fiction-Writing Directorate Manifesto
Sunday, May 16, 2010
My other beloved venture, the Fiction-Writing Directorate, released its manifesto a little while ago. Check it out!
And while you’re there, here’s the three-part tale of the Creation of the Manifesto.
Part One

Part Three
Big fun.
The Delights of Inefficient Travel
Monday, May 10, 2010
Sean and I are not efficient travelers.
Some people get in the car and drive until they get to their destination. We wander a bit. We just spent two days driving from Tahoe to Salt Lake City; apparently this takes normal people about 9 hours.
Our itinterary:
12:00 Leave the house where our friend’s wedding was held. (Very [...]
Announcing the Fiction-Writing Directorate!
Thursday, February 4, 2010
My newest project is the Fiction-Writing Directorate. I think of it as half “motivation” for writers, half performance art (I write all the characters, and a rough plot outline will emerge over time), and half role-playing game. It is ridiculously fun!
Won’t you come play along?
Clockwork Jungle Book Is Here!
Monday, December 7, 2009
Yanno, I never thought it might take me two years it release an issue. We were supposed to be quarterly! Fast turnaround, having everything together, a well-oiled machine.
Yeah.
It’s been a long time in the making, but it’s here at last, and I couldn’t be more pleased with how it turned out: The Clockwork [...]
And so we start again…
Sunday, November 8, 2009
Back from a glorious but exhausting World Fantasy, and trying to get things back together. It’s hard, after spending most of a week in another world, an exciting and inspiring world, to get back to the ordinary work of chopping wood and carrying water.
It doesn’t help that I’m a little sick and the antibiotics [...]
The Wedding FAQ
Tuesday, October 6, 2009
Q: Ahahaha, you got married? That’s a joke, right?
A: Nope! Sean and I really got married on Monday, Oct 5. All witnessed and photographed and legal and everything.
Q: Wow, why so sudden? Why didn’t you plan a big wedding and/or tell me? Are you pregnant??
A: We always figured we’d get married with little fuss someday [...]
Getting Married on Monday
Sunday, October 4, 2009
Monday morning I’m getting married. Sean and I have been living together for two and a half years or so, and have always figured we’d get married someday. Might as well be Monday, eh?
The decision to do it now started as part of a discussion about how Sean needs health insurance — so if this [...]
Chicken salad, anyone?
Saturday, September 19, 2009
We arrived at the grocery store last night, and the power was out. A grocery store on emergency power is dim and oddly quiet: no muzak, no air conditioner, none of the background noise you don’t really notice until it’s gone. The outage was expected to last another 6 or 7 hours. Employees were busy [...]

Over at the Shimmer blog, I’ve posted a list of the stories we’ve purchased so far for our 12th issue, coming later this year.
It’s such a great lineup! I can’t wait until this issue is released and everyone can read it.
