Well how’s he on second if he’s on first?

No no no, House is on third. Second base is Strange.

supreme-leader-stoat

Well this whole darn thing is strange but what I’m asking is who’s on first?

Naturally.

Who?

Naturally.

So Naturally is the first baseman?

tornadointhetundra

No. The first baseman is Who.

supreme-leader-stoat

Well I don’t know that so how’s about you tell me?

tornadointhetundra

House is on Third.

supreme-leader-stoat

I’m not asking you about third base I’m asking you about first base.

tornadointhetundra

supreme-leader-stoat

This is horrible

tornadointhetundra

Dr Horrible is the pitcher, not first base

supreme-leader-stoat

That’s not what I’m asking about! No!

wrenchinator-central

Dr No is in the outfield, but let’s not worry about them right now.

Why is college so fucking expensive?

Edited to add: That’s for only three classes. In state tuition. Small local college that used to be a Community College.

Apparently it has been almost a year since I opened Tumblr. And I regret what I have missed.

On the other hand, the sheer overwhelming amount of Halloween posts in general and Hocus Pocus posts in specific are like a giant ‘Welcome Home’.

Def would not get that on the other site with the bird.

Seen some discourse about it and thought I’d post a reminder. I am a grown ass adult with two kids, one of whom will be an adult next year. If you are EVER uncomfortable talking to me because of my age/your age, tell me and I will stop contacting you.

I had a friend on a pet site who made this request to me. I let them know they could contact me again when they were ready, and I haven’t spoken with them since. It hurt to lose a friend, but it was more important they felt safe.

I play on game sites/sims because they are fun and entertaining. I also make friends there, which is hard for me in RL because of crippling social anxiety. But I am not going to force my friendship on anyone. If blocking me is necessary, please do so.

Thank you for coming to my talk. If you want more info, give me a holler.

I had no room. I did not need another dragon.

I needed THIS dragon. RIP my savings. Most of those are gem genes. XD

Every so often I remember that Diane Duane and her husband spent their honeymoon co-authoring the star trek novel The Romulan Way. Legends only.

dduane

It was a lively coupla weeks. (Well, sixteen days, if I remember right.) At that point I was still hip-deep in storyediting work on Dinosaucers, and couldn’t just stop because of some piddling thing like, you know, getting married: we were on deadline. And Romulan Way was getting later by the moment.

So my excellent literary agent (who due to our marriage was also now @petermorwood’s US lit agent) had a word with us both to the effect of “It’s collaboration time, you two. Maybe you didn’t have it planned this way, but that’s neither here nor there. Get busy.”

So Peter jumped in, and we wrote the book “chapter about”—Himself would do one chapter and then I’d do one, until we were done. Then each of us did a “smoothing pass” on the book as a whole, so that it wouldn’t be immediately obvious who’d done which chapters. And then we turned it in and got back on with what locally passed for (more) normal life.

And that, my children, is why DD’s lesson for today is: whether you think you need to or not, ALWAYS OUTLINE, AT LEAST A LITTLE. OH GOD PLEASE. Because if I hadn’t had a (fairly comprehensive) outline already done for this book, ready to underpin the work whenever it was needed, it would have been utterly impossible for Peter to swoop in like the superhero he is and save my bacon. You cannot tell what emergency may befall you (or your first draft) that may leave you dearly wishing you’d left yourself at least the equivalent of a scrawled-on-a-napkin road map of where you were heading.

(Some guidelines to basic outlining are here. It doesn’t have to be horrible drudgery, or boring, and it doesn’t have to kill the spontaneity of your writing, as some people would like you to think. But someday even quite a simple and basic outline may save your butt.)

...More than this, deponent saith not. (Except to add that we’ll score that honeymoon eventually. We do keep trying...) :)

(And also: neither of us has the slightest damn idea why that book’s cover has a Colonial Viper on it. Truly.) (eyeroll)
