Congrats on the 100K! You’re so close, now.I agree about reading up on other people’s work processes. I have a couple books on writing that I’ll dip into when I’m feeling stuck or unmotivated, but I don’t want to read, in detail, about too many writer’s working habits. It’d be overwhelming.

Yeah, I agree with you, Felice. That’s one of my favorite things about the story, the mixing up of things, but it is a gorgeous piece, so I will certainly take it. It’s a small thing, though. Most people probably won’t catch it.

omg the artwork…on the one hand, it was beautiful, but on the other hand, it totally ignored the Western-Eastern dress that you threw in there and that intrigued many of us before. No matter, the whole looks gorgeous and grandiose. Congrats again!

Thanks, Vince! It’s difficult for me, too, regarding the whole blog thing. I don’t really care to write a lot about my personal life. It feels too, I don’t know, every day to me. Like who cares? And, like you, I don’t really want to post much about the process of writing. Once in a while I will, when I feel like I have something to say, but most often I just feel like I’m too much of a student of writing to be posting about it with any sense of authority, so I generally just don’t. So, it boils down to writing announcements and occasionally status reports like this one.

I feel like that right now, and felt that way for a long time. It might explain why I seldom post to my own blog (and especially why I never write about writing-related angst). I’m glad I read Felice’s post and checked in with you. Congrats on the nearly-finished novel, and also for RoF.

Dude! Congrats on the 100K! You are definitely The Man.

I completely understand about the blog “noise.” I think sometimes it’s best to not even turn on the internet browser so I can keep my head down and work.

Also, big congrats on the RoF! I got my copy in the mail the other day and I can’t wait to read it. I am so frickin’ proud of you!

< < And I wanted to congratulate you on your story in Realms of Fantasy! I just saw it yesterday and mentally cheered for you. :) (That was my favorite story of yours at Clarion, too!) >>

Thanks, Shveta! I need to write a post about it, but I wanted to get back home (I’m in Orange County on business, currently) and snap some pictures of it. I’m totally psyched about it coming out in the magazine. I love the artwork, too. Did you take a look at it?

< < I’m also just completely busy with my own work now, trying to get a zero draft of a book down before the baby drops in two months. My email inbox is a horrorshow… >>

Hurry Robert. hurry! You ever watch Run Lola Run? Maybe if you bear down and scream you’ll be able to go back in time and write more, or differently, or better, or whatever. And if it doesn’t work out, you can just scream and do it all over again. That’s your new nickname. I’m going to call you Lola from now on…
