We Write!
Cedar here: I have been rather sick the last couple of days. I'm not saying it was the Wendy's Grilled Chicken Sandwich, but I will say that's the only thing I ate before coming home from work and proceeding to get rather ill. My dear, dear husband, who is Not a Writer, offered to write... Continue Reading →
This is a story about the nicest man in all of Fandom. I first came to LibertyCon because it was a family reunion for family I'd never met before. There were... two, maybe three people at that con I'd met in person, and I'm mildly agoraphobic. At the time, make that more than mild. So... Continue Reading →
Here’s why you should. I see it frequently, if not hear it outright, and although there are times the ability to not GaF is a powerful tool, there are definitely times it is a bad thing. When you get to the point where you stop seeing the people around you as humans, but inanimate objects... Continue Reading →
I was listening to a very modern setting of part of the "Battle of the Trees," the Cad Goddeu. The poem, or at least the parts we have of it, is long and strange, and includes a declaration by Taliesin of all the various shapes he has worn over the aeons. The list includes:... Continue Reading →
It’s Tuesday once again, and that means you’re all subjected to my rambling words of wisdom. But first! Clan Dave is doing fine (it’s fine, it’s all fine, no problems at all AT ALL). Mom Dave and Pop Dave are visiting, and have been occupying Wee Dave and Wee-er Dave. Also cleaning Castle Dave, which... Continue Reading →
Real Life has intruded on the scheduled poster here in a most delightful way. He's greeting his third child into the world properly. So since the blog goes on, even when family is coming first, I offered to step in with a few words. Community is grand. It's a beautiful thing. I came home from... Continue Reading →
Since my last missive, I’ve traveled a few thousand miles, consumed many excellent drinks (gin Old Fashioned! Mind blown! Who knew? Thank you, Nate.) Received invitations to a couple anthologies, and moved a step closer toward a collaboration. I’m currently typing at you from many thousands of foots in the air (feel my thought beams...

I have a confession to make: I don’t know what’s going on in the world. Not just the world of publishing (not many actually do, to be honest), but the wider world. Mrs. Dave returned to us this past weekend, so life has been jumbled. She’ll be home for a (measly) couple weeks, and then... Continue Reading →
Ish. Okay, guys (and gals, and others, etc.) I don’t usually go this route, but I’ve been watching things unfold from the front row, and my harping on professionalism is coming ‘round again. In short: always be yourself, always be above board, and always be a professional. For those who aren’t aware (just decanted from... Continue Reading →
This is a guest post by George Phillies, an author, gamer, and, well, you'll see... You can find more about George's work here, and he is the president of N3F, where you can subscribe for free fanzines that are delightfully focused only on the fantasy, fun, and frolics of fandom, leaving out the politics. You... Continue Reading →
