‘Nother Story Accepted
I’m waiting to say where, but it’ll be online sometime next month. And it’s a story close to my heart, being one of the most autobiographical (in a transreal way) things I’ve ever written. More when it’s online, but it’s so nice to get the news the day before WorldCon began. (I found out yesterday.)

Two-toes
It wasn’t the sake: a number of members of the Wadomo tribe that lives in the Zambeze Valley in Zimbabwe (which was what Rhodesia became but my father’s military service was over by then… and there’s another tribe in Botswana with the same condition, as well as a few random people elsewhere) have some weird mutation […]
“Cut off a Piece of My Foot”
… sounds a little more dramatic than, “removed some very dry and hardened pieces of skin that were causing massive blisters, swelling, and pain,” but I swear, it felt like the latter. I have gauze on my foot. It was just this morning. I’m a little afraid to look.

Tokyo, and ahhhhh.
I’m in Tokyo again. Looks like I’ll be there until sometime on Wednesday evening, when I make my way to Yokohama. If there’s anyone in Tokyo who reads this blog and feels like meeting up, email me! (I’m not expecting anything, but I do get some hits from Japan — in fact, more official hits […]

Hiroshima. I was only there for a day. I liked it a lot, maybe more than Kyoto. Probably because my feet hurt so damned much and Kyoto involved so much walking for me. There was something about the Hiroshima vibe that was more comfortable — maybe vaguely more familiar — to me.
All the monuments to […]
Yahew…
Still in Kyoto. Today was a very fruitful day in many ways. The best thing is, I found a place that has computers that aren’t crippled. This means I can back up the photos from my MP3 player on the portable hard drive I brought along. This is very good, because when you are trying […]

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.
