Writer Tamago

I know that writing is a lot of unglamorous hard work. Yes, yes. It can be hard and frustrating during those fallow times, or when the writing isn't going where you want it to, or the words seem particularly insipid to you as you pen them. I've been there. And I [...]

Sarah Prineas wrote a pet story today, and asked us to share ours. Right now, we have two wonderful cats: Sekhmet, war princess of the upstairs, and Bastet, the queen of all cats. In the past we have had Michael, god emperor of the yard. All 3 of these cats [...]

I'd like to draw attention to this response to my post earlier. Sylvia Rachel makes some strong points that I feel are exemplary.

Tonight I've written about 1200 words. Sure they're sketchy and not well-crafted, but they're new. I'll take it.

I understand that a box of Hulk Hercules: Professional Wrestler books [...]

This has been on my mind for a while, and I think the ideas about it have coalesced at the crossroads of Jim Hines's entry about rape victims pressing charges and watching the Academy Awards last night, and seeing Mo'nique win her well-deserved best actress award.

Hulk Hercules: Professional Wrestler: The last [...]

Tiffany Trent wrote a great journal entry about the ideas she keeps returning to as a writer. The idea fascinated me, so in the great tradition of ripping off another writer, I decided I might also elaborate on this theme.
I've written quite a few stories and some books over the years. Yes, [...]

And here we are at the end of another day, writing a quick plug. Julie Rose, my writing buddy who made it pretty far in the Amazon Writing Contest has a story, Spitfire at Expanded Horizons.
Jools writes a quasi-mystic, historical flavor of fantasy that I predict will make her a [...]

Just like that, it's 12:35.
It has been a very busy morning. I had to squeeze a trip to the doctor in. I don't want to get TMI on you, but we think the Tea Rush of the Yukon has caused some unusual topology. I've been ordered off caffeine for a [...]

I survived my trip out, but two hours at the office sort of wiped me out. Man, how do you people WORK?
All righty. We've filled Young and Fabulous for Wiscon. Readers will be Catherine Cheek, Keyan Bowes, Caroline Stevermer, and yours truly. I'll be reading from Hulk Hercules. Caroline says [...]
