Writer Tamago

Hello everyone. This is me, right now. Someone's getting a dye job on Thursday. I sort of like the luminescent glow of the computer screen, however. I've been having another one of those relaxing weekends. I finished A Hat Full of Sky with Bryon. I'm not sure if Pratchett should write another one of those, [...]

Today, the writer is working. Thanks to archeologist/writer/VP XIIIer Miranda Suri, I have whacked my my 9 chapters of troll-y goodness into 22 smaller chapters. The theory being that my chapters were way too huge for teens. I hope to repay Miranda by giving her good crit on her latest novel, of which I read [...]

I have returned from the Temple of Sacred Cake Dissection. Much happiness and felicitations to Aric and Kim upon the advent of their nuptials! Um. An interview and a book review/interview out currently. As soon as they come home to roost, you will see them here! And. I am working my way through rewrite 4 [...]

I'm getting a lot of spam in my filter these days. The good news is that it's going in my filter. But I'm going to have to get a big bushy tail, so, like a wildebeest, I can wave the spam away. THAT was a weak analogy. Then again, it's not every day you can [...]

AnimeIowa went very well. I did a presentation with Bryon on Horror Anime before 2000. Maybe the scariest thing about the presentation was how hack-y Go Nagai's 1970s Devilman was. We also did some cultural work, hosting a Japanese shrine and tea party Friday night. The convention was great. it was a good chance to [...]

Then, there was the mother of all headaches. It kept Catherine home from work, it kept Catherine off the computer. At 2 o'clock, she stumbled into town, her husband driving, to pick up AV equipment for the convention tomorrow. She got on line tonight, and worked some, because it was a costly day she took [...]

Sorry about the quiet. I've been working on, you know, the Write-a-thon. I've also had to sew a quick shrine maiden outfit for the anime convention I'm helping with this weekend. Yes, it has been a long time since I've sewn. I had forgotten how to thread the machine. In my defense, it was a [...]

Please let me know if I've missed any very important events in the last 3 days or so. I'm surfacing for a moment to catch up, but don't have time to read 5 days worth of stuff. We took a trip up to the Decorah Nordic Fest on Saturday with our friends Mark and Michelle, [...]

Since I've been a domestic being this week, I've been cleaning and sorting some. The husband and I took about six bags of books out of our library yesterday, and the house has been thoroughly dusted. With my dust allergies, that does make for a sniffalicous good time. However, I'm weighing in to mention that [...]

I'm at work for a couple of hours this morning, trying to get a few things out of the way before I'm out of the office UNTIL THE 19TH OF JULY!!! Yeah, baybee! A-hem. This is the time of year that two very important reunions are on my radar screen. 1. Readercon. It's my first [...]
