My sidelink gizmo is borked thanks to the WordPress upgrade, so here’s a handful:
- Joss Whedon and John Cassaday are going to do another year of X-Men (whoop!)
- There’s a Martian sea
- Charlie Stross expounds on cold-bloodedly designing a fantasy series
- John Scalzi explains the difficulty in playing ‘I Never’ in fandom
It looks like Patrick and Teresa have a fun lineup of slush- and agent-related panels at ConDFW this weekend.
And there is now a genre advance survey for mystery/crime writers.
I have some short fiction cooking right now. (Regular readers will understand how rare that is.) Back later.

What Took You So Long? The quiet hell of 10 years of novel writing. This, my friends, is the story of my life.
#Top ten signs you need to go back on your meds:
1. You’ve just thrown a puppy at the Hell’s Angels
2. … after mooning them
3. … on the grounds of their clubhouse
4. … and you’ve attempted to escape on a bulldozer.
