It takes a LOT of time to write blog posts (not the ones where I tell you what I had for breakfast, but those where I discuss a particular topic). My whole week seems to have disappeared into those (the reason they’re not up on my blog is that they’re for guest blogs). So, no novel progress, but 5k+ words on various subjects that caught my fancy.

And, on a completely unrelated matter, in the series of major suckage that makes you want to kick the universe: writer Kage Baker is gravely ill, with metastasized cancer. An update here, and email and postal addresses to send messages and cards (she’s in no state to deal with phone calls, but she could definitely use messages and cards).

Arg.
