Gonna be light posting this weekend.

I’m starting a campaign for my group – shock! In Nomine! It was requested! – Saturday and Sunday I’m talking with a book group (mom’s side of the family). I’ve been good about not nagging family members to buy the books, but they absolutely will buy some now for this. So, gonna be a busy weekend.

I should also get some writing in. Those books ain’t gonna write themselves.

The week is over!

Massive stress and much difficulty actually doing anything. But today I actually sat down and figured out the plot of the story for the Baen contest. Now that I have, I can actually write the damn thing properly. I also straightened out something with the Portland Fermi Resolution story that had been bugging me.

Oddly, all of that helped. Or maybe not oddly. Clarity is useful.

PS: My wife also flat-out told me she had a nigh-insurmountable problem with a character in MORGAN BAROD. I said, “Well, what if he was [x] instead of [y]?” and then there was no problem at all. And then I had to admit to myself that she was right. Still, easily fixed.

[UPATE]: Link added.

The HPL Historical Society fundraiser was successful! …Also, their account was hacked and @TwitterSupport is being useless.

Oh, hi, Twitter Support! Note that your website is still calling mine dangerous. Why are you doing that? How the heck do you expect to keep getting away with this level of not-talking-to-people when you finally monetize your subscribers? Is this really what y’all wanted to do with your lives?

…Anyway: the HPL Historical Society had a fundraiser to help buy up a bunch of Lovecraft’s letters and donate them to Brown University’s existing HPL collection. They have succeeded. This, at least, is good news.
