A Day of…
A day of worthy things:
Go read Tina Connolly’s Growing Days, which is a poem up at Strange Horizons
Go check out The Grand Narrative, which is the best new(ish) blog about Korea that I’ve seen in ages. Were I not so full-steam-ahead on the writing-SF thing, this is the blog and the kind of self-directed study […]
“A Killing in Burma” Still Truckin’
I’m having a dreadully good time drafting “A Killing in Burma,” and while there are bits that will probably need some serious trimming later on, the process right now is a downright blast. One of the things I’m experimenting consciously with here is writing a longer story without a single consistent POV character. This is […]
Wanna Turn on a Wind Musician?
Checking out The Bis Key Chronicles, a saxophonist’s blog, I ran across this post about a Bb bass sax that this guy is having built for him. I followed on to the homepage of the instrument maker who’s building it for him, custom with a low-A key, Benedikt Eppelsheim Wind Instruments, Munich, and, well, this […]

On the Apparent Surge of Anti-Christian Sentiment Among Korean Netizens
UPDATE: Shin Hye Chul, Korean rock musician and outspoken (though among young people, apparently respected) social commentator, is quoted in the Daily Economist as having argued basically what I said about the way the newspapers are presenting this: in essence, that while newspapers used to play up things, presenting the comments of one netizen in […]
Write-a-thon (Today, Writhe-a-thon) Countdown Continues: Thursday Update
Writhe-a-thon… it was a typo, but an accurate one considering how I felt today. I seem to have been food poisoned on Wednesday night. Something’s been messing with my system, making me feel cold when it’s hot, hot when it’s cold, making me sleep most of the day, making me feel dizzy and weak, and, […]
Write-a-thon, Week 6 Continued
I’ve decided to start a new post for each day of the four remaining days of the write-a-thon, because it’s only four days and because, hee, I’m excited.
Today, especially, I have reason to be excited. I drafted one and a half scenes and I stopped at a scene break, thinking, “I know what happens next, […]

The Clarion West Write-a-Thon is On!
The Clarion West Writer's Workshop has been responsible for starting many people on the road to publication and careers in writing. It has been an unstinting supporter of creativity and of the next generation of writers for decades.
But it doesn't run itself. It takes time, energy, and even with volunteers, it takes money. The write-a-thon is one way to raise the funds that keep the workshop going.
