Random Thursday Thoughts

Our local pizza place has a sticker which reads, “Property protected by 24 hour vidoe surveillance.”  Not a hand-scrawled note, but a professionally printed sticker.  This sort of thing is kryptonite to me.  I had to fight the urge to rip the sticker off the window and encase it in lead.

Elizabeth Moon has a LiveJournal.  Yesterday, she shared her thoughts about military discipline and the removal of General McChrystal.  In addition to being an excellent author, Moon is also a former junior officer in the Marine Corps.  She knows of what she speaks, and posts like this are the reason I follow her blog.

From a Twitter post by my agent: “Joshua in NYC B&N admiring ‘They Stand Against Darkness’ floor riser w/ @jimchines Red Hood’s Revenge.”  I want to run out to B&N right now to see this floor display!!!  (And then I want to take it home with me and set it up on the ego shelf!)

I changed my process when I started working on the third draft of Snow Queen.  This is not an easy thing for me.  I tend to find a routine and stick to it, no matter what happens.  (Just ask my wife.)  So it was scary to throw out my old approach and try something new with draft three … but it seems to be working so far.  If this holds, it could save me as much as a month’s worth of work.  Go me!

Am I the only one who’s been losing interest with Sluggy Freelance these past few months?
