These last few days have been spent dealing with the rest of the kitchen floor and finishing the pantry wall. Underneath where the refrigerator was, in front of the pantry door, the floor had buckled due to water damage caused by a mouse chewing through the water line to the ice maker about six years ago. Some water had seeped around the edges of the linoleum in the pantry at the time, causing water to get under the flooring. But I thought at the time that some judicious hole-drilling w

This year’s Necon offered a couple of interesting twists in the programming that offered more than the usual good value. First off, our man John Skipp and Tom Sniegoski were Guests of Honor, and so offered up to attendees in a public interview conducted by Chris Golden and Toastmistress Mary SanGiovani.

I’ve decided to stop dragging my feet and jump in to freelance writing. I figure, what’s a better time to start a new, high-risk career than an economic depression? Here is a sample article from my portfolio… Looking at popular blog sites like Dooce (www.dooce.com) or Lifehacker (www.lifehacker.com) makes many amateur (and some professional) writers say “Man, I wish I could do that!” Well, guess what? You can! However, just wanting to do it is not enough (trust me, I know this feeling).

The Economy of Writing Agent Nathan Bransford made an entry titled “Will Write For Food”. In it, he discusses the depressing trend of authors bemoaning their finances and pinning their economic hopes on their writing.
