And as I work on it, I’m reminded of changes that I made to The Fifth Season, in turn. Like this whole chapter that I removed, which would’ve been chapter 5. This was when I was playing with […].

August 10th, 2015 • On Writing. So, now that The Fifth Season. Is out, I can finally talk more about the making of. Over at Scalzi’s. I blogged a bit about why and how I chose to use second person, among other things. Now I’m going to talk about creating the Sanzeds, the orogenes, and the stone eaters. Someone of a different species, you start rethinking words like “dehumanize” and how they apply within a secondary or far-future world. But I’ll save those thoughts for another post&#...I’d planned f...

So, that happened. June 14th, 2013 • Causes. Not going to spend a lot of time on yesterday’s shenanigans. Better things to do. Like, holy shit, it looks like over $10,000 has been raised for the Carl Brandon Society. And I’m guessing Con or Bust is probably well past $500.
