Fact One: I like zombies. I like considering the ramifications of a zombie outbreak as a mental exercise, and sometimes even use that as an excuse to buy pretty things. None of this is a surprise to anyone who knows me.
Fact Two: I like Mira Grant’s new book Feed. Again, this should also come as [...]

Moonlighting elseblog
I’ve got a post percolating about stories, games, and plot vs. character, but I’ll save that for tomorrow and instead point out that I wrote a guest blog over at ktliterary.com today: On Being Rexroth: Living with a Literary Agent.
The Wonderful Stink of Revision
Did you read it?
No, not yesterday’s post; did you read something of yours? How was it?
Don’t tell me you’re not done reading it yet; you were supposed to pick something short.

Yesterday’s post generated a lot of interest. And emotion, yes, but mostly interest. If I can be allowed to revisit that post for a second, I’d like to sum the whole thing up like so:
Ignore questions of infrastructure and the costs of ebook file development; those things are tangential to the current issue. What Simon [...]
