Launch Pad Chat (Book Chatter #17)
My Launch Pad classmate Stacey Cochran hosted a live chat about Launch Pad a while back, and I just realized that I haven’t posted the link for those who missed the chat when I mentioned it on Twitter! Plenty of participants joined in, and it’s worth giving it a listen, whether you’re considering applying for the program (I recommend it very highly!) or just curious about what it was like.

And you know what, buying a supporting membership would also essentially be a big savings for you cheap bastards who wanna get a pile of novels, novellas, short stories, an audiobook, and more, all …
Linky Stuff
Linky stuff is less fun than kinky stuff, from what I vaguely recall, but hey, this is the internet and we’ll take what we can get, right? When I was playing in a local student big band in Saskatoon, the guy on second tenor was the funniest person I’d met up until then. His name was Jason — I can’t remember his family name, but he was Jason the tenor player — and he once said of his job at a video store, “Man, I was so busy today I didn’t have time to take a sh*t!” Suffice it to …
