A true collector's item for a Ted Chiang fan!

Just a reminder to join us for an hour of writing with Cory Doctorow NONCONSENSUAL BLUE TICK this evening at 5PM PDT (8PM EDT)! Registration is absolutely *FREE*, and we might get a few words of encouragement from Cory, himself! mailchi.mp/theclarionfoun…

We're *so* close to reaching 50% of our goal! And this might help us get there--a *super* rare, ltd. ed. copy of tamsyn should be writing's GIDEON THE NINTH, signed!! This is an oversized Subterranean Press edition, now out of print! igg.me/at/clarionfund…

Happy B-day, Tor.com!! Still so thrilled to be among your rank of authors!

If I weren't running this campaign, I'd snap up one of these beautiful editions of Gideon or Harrow. Definitely would go for the Tom Wagner consult...he's a climate scientist who has worked for NASA, and consults regularly with major Hollywood studios!

Worst, stupidest rebrand ever.

Don't know what's been more upsetting this morning-- this "X" rebrand shit, or finding out that Hans Zimmer didn't score Oppenheimer.

Really looking forward to this! C.C. Finlay bought a couple of stories from me during his run as editor of The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, and this will be my first chance to meet him in person!

Big news! The Clarion Workshop '23 Fundraiser has almost met its goal! Just a little over a grand left to get over the finish line!

Correction: Even more amazingly, we're now 98% funded!!! Only $362 dollars left to hit our goal! We're...SO....close!

Hot damn, we did it! $20,000 raised with a day left in our drive! These funds will go a long way toward helping future Clarion Workshop classes. We really cannot thank you all enough for your support!!!

So, working on this draft of the book seems to be me mainly adding back in the actual good shit I cut from the previous draft. What a dance.

Tons of leopard #sharks and bat rays in only knee-deep water this morning off #LaJolla, the day before #HuricaneHilary due to roll into #SanDiego. Will be interesting to check on them again after the storm. Stay safe out there! Point Loma Nazarene University Scripps Institution of Oceanography #sharkscience

K, finally leaving these shores of middle earth, heading West to that other fabled place. You can follow me under the same handle.

YOU CAN HELP MAKE SEASON 14 A REALITY! I rarely use all caps but this is important.

I said I was off this site, but feel compelled to announce that We Shall Sing a Song into the Deep will be translated into Arabic! Unexpectedly awesome!

For those who wanted to check it out, the We Shall Sing audiobook is on offer for 75% off through the holidays! audiobooks.com/promotions/pro…

I'm rooting for whichever team Swift is playing for. Never knew football could be so exciting.

It's been a long time since I've been out on submission...I'd forgotten that "Eeee!" feeling.
