  • WIP: I recount how a bioengineered horror ended the great galactic republic – the truth filtered through a fairytale about a talking rabbit. #
  • I'm no longer allowed to read certain sections of Adrift to @daphneun since I started killing characters she likes. #amwriting #nanowrimo #
  • My 'little princess' WIP character's super-power seems to be that she's stubborn and argumentative. #writewhatyouknow #
  • Today's WIP: "That was how the princess brought the Spring Tree back to the kingdom and finally ended Winter. That was how the War began." #
  • My daughter is critiquing the lyric logic of old Springsteen songs. She is not impressed. #raisingemright #
  • 'But if there's only grown-ups there, you're just going to talk about husbands and be BORING.' #thingsKayleesays #
  • I enjoy any movie that employs cast iron skillets as the primary melee weapon. #tangled #skilletsrock #
  • RT @ChuckWendig: RT @EvilWylie: Carpenters Needed! Saw And Nail Cabinets, Doors, Even Whole Houses. No Pay, But You'll Get Great Exposure! #
  • A Bitter November (http://j.mp/ggDP9Y) – Heh. #
  • Two employees here have swung by to say 'I really like that N7 hoodie… sir.' Feeling simultaneously cool and OLD. #
  • I thought we could reconcile some things if we just talked and maybe spent some time together, but you know what, Monday? Fuck you. Cheater. #
  • SubZin (http://j.mp/hHfQJS) – Finally, the Internet is complete. #
  • Postcards from WoW, Part 7 (http://j.mp/egh9b0) – Yeah. Not much interest in heading back to WoW any time soon. #
  • You know how to keep me from working? Drag your feet about paying me. #themoreyouknow #
  • I don't want to come across as a WoW-hater, folks. I'm not. WoW-agnostic? Yeah. Lasped WoWtholic? Something like that. #
  • My favorite holiday song, two years running – Always in the Season http://t.co/u8JTlcJ via @youtube #
  • I love @jonathancoulton, but this "kinetic typography animation" makes ShopVac MORE awesome. WATCH. http://t.co/OCe8FLA (thanks, @scalzi!) #
  • Let the oatmeal cook a little long this morning, and got an inch-thick oatmeal & raisin pancake. Added syrup. BEST COOKING MISTAKE EVER. #
  • Thanks to this building project, I've learned *so much* about what's keeping our house standing. (The answer? MAGIC and BLISSFUL IGNORANCE.) #
  • Samuel Pepys and the POD Diary by James Bridle (http://j.mp/eU6Ty2) – The bit about publisher love is telling. #
  • When someone at my ex-dayjob (where I still do short contract work) says "I just can't see why you aren't still here," it kinda sucks. #
  • I know they mean well, and it's nice to hear how wonderful they find my work, but… yeah. Sucks. #
  • My daughter enjoyed Tangled so much she's asking when we get to go see our NEXT movie. This is a HUGE shift away from her theater-hatred. #
  • McDonald's with my daughter. Hellooo Transformer Happy Meal. Now to see what Kaylee wants to eat… #
  • Jeez, the McD Playground is a really suboptimal experience for someone my height. #wherearethefeedbacksurveys #
  • RT @EvilWylie: (waitress, telemarketer…) RT @IrisBlasi: In a world of shrinking advances, additional author revenue channels are a *must*. #
