    Anyone Order Me a Book Lately?

    I received a few things in the mail today. A disappointingly limited selection of my own compositions — lots of things from my third year compositions, but absolutely nothing from my second year, which means that when my box of audio tapes were turfed last year, the recordings of my earliest compositions were utterly...

    Met Lime’s dad and brother today for the first time, as well as seeing her mom again. The family was quite welcoming and nice, and my trepidation about meeting her dad was all for nothing. He seemed quite pleased to meet me and was very warm toward me, even grabbing my hand and holding...

    Writing update. I finished redrafting a few things lately — specifically my Machine of Death submission, which is all but ready to go out after one more proofread, and “Cai and her Ten Thousand Husbands” which I’ve already sent to Clarkesworld.

    I don’t know who Tim Hardaway is, or why she shot off his mouth about hating gay people, but I gotta say I’m impressed by George Takei, not only for standing up and saying something, but doing it in a brilliant, funny, and empowered way.

    That’s it, 3rd draft of “IMPROPERLY PREPARED BLOWFISH” (née “Tsueno’s Slips”) is done, and it only needs a good, clear-headed proofread before it gets sent to Machine of Death. I’m not sure it’s exactly what they’re looking for, but what the hell. I can always cannibalize it if they don’t take it. I’ve sent...
