International Reading Association

Stacy | April 30, 2008

If you’re going to be in Atlanta for the International Reading Association conference, be sure to stop by the Mirrorstone booth, #721. Lots to see and authors Candice Ransom and D.L. Garfinkle will be signing in the booth. Also, each author will be the star of her own reception in the Hyatt Regency one night [...]

Shared-world fiction has a lot in common with the small screen

Stacy | April 28, 2008

I’ve said I’d write about this for a while and I’ve never quite found the time. I still don’t have a lot of time, but I needed blog fodder and this is a long-standing question. Also, I think that even if you create your own world and intend to write a series, there are a [...]

I took  some pictures of the B&N event this afternoon on my cell phone to post here, but when I got home from that (after running several errands) not only were the pictures missing, so were all my phone numbers and pretty much everything on the phone, and it wouldn’t connect to any service. It’s like I [...]

Whoa.

Stacy | April 25, 2008

Whoa.
Whoa…
Just watched the first episode of Dr. Who season 4.
Whoa.
Yeah. It’s that good. I think you should start watching Dr. Who if you haven’t yet. This might be the best show on TV right now.
Also, just saw Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day, and that’s also really good. Some great storytelling, combined with original characterization [...]

IRA and travel by air

Stacy | April 25, 2008

Perhaps I’m a little late to the discussion of this, as I haven’t had time to keep up on people’s blogs lately, but did you hear about this? After May 1, half the airlines I know of are going to start charging for checking a second bag. That means I’m screwed at Christmas, when I often go home [...]

It’s torture-the-kitty night!

Stacy | April 23, 2008

I think the LOLcat caption of this one should be “Noa’s Ark kitteh not ready to sale” or something. The intent was to do a Noah’s Ark animals-as-sailors thing, as I had some sailor capes and some animal heads, and I was trying to figure out just how perverse I could get with my ever-patient [...]

Next week starring me!

Stacy | April 21, 2008

There’s a new Writing Excuses podcast up today, as there is every week. They’ve had some good conversations and I think this is turning out to be a good resource for writers. So if you haven’t stopped by, try it out. 
Next week, they’ll be interviewing me, so don’t miss it. I’ll post a link when [...]

Information please?

Stacy | April 21, 2008

My friend* is currently traveling in India visiting another friend. He’s been to Laos several times (where he speaks the language, hence the Lao on the blog) and to several other countries but never to India. The other friend is working on a documentary for a small school for a few months, so they’re meeting [...]
