Now is the time for last-minute shopping! My books at this point would not show up until after Christmas, alas. But there’s still tons of other stuff you could still get, preferably via the link above.
…Look, it’s nowhere near the affiliate income it was in the old days, but every little bit helps, ‘kay?

I should just try to take it easier this month. I mean, there’s still stories to finish, but it’s Christmas and I do get to have something like a vacation. I can’t be on all the time – and this month, apparently I can’t be on all the time, whether I want to be, or not.
Need to listen to my body and head more, I guess.
This was one of them. I’m lucky to have made wordcount.
Somewhere, there’s a bunch of Waffle House employees going over this video, and taking notes. Why? Because the true professional recognizes that there’s always more to learn. Waffle House doesn’t do much with parking lot brawls except let the cops deal with it, because no drive-thrus. They can analyze this with fresh eyes.
Besides, it’s interesting to see how terrain can change a takedown.

I didn’t drink (well, except for the margarita, but that was just one drink anyway) much, but the restaurants doing this cocktail crawl thing weren’t shy about giving you a plate of food. Good stuff, too, not pigs-in-a-blanket or anything. Clearly they wanted us going, Hey. We should come back here and have a real dinner, and they will no doubt be pleased to hear that it absolutely worked.
Continue reading Well, *that* was an unexpectedly generous cocktail crawl.…which we will of course have to pace ourselves on, because I am not twenty-five anymore and neither is my wife. But that’s all right. When we were that young we couldn’t afford stuff like this. Remember your advantages, is what I say.
But expect a quiet night here.
[UPDATE: Alert canceled. Not a ‘false alarm,’ mind you. The West Coast just got lucky, that’s all.]
Just go.

No writing done, but I had to run around with errands, deal with medical visits (nothing bad), work on the crowdfunding stuff for next year, and debug an Oculus Rift. That was the annoying one. Those VR helmets are very cool, but Meta is horrible when it comes to troubleshooting them, or even explaining what the problem was.
Oh, well, guess it was a bye day. The good news is that I had to do a lot less in the way of writing new stuff for the RPG than I thought I’d have to. That gives me some room to maneuver in the schedule.
It looks like I’ll be doing a local event on the 14th, and I finally heard back about another event in April. The wrinkle on that one is that it’ll be the day after an event I’m doing already, but that’s… well, I’ll just have to soldier on, bluntly. I mean, at least I won’t have to unpack the car all the way.

PS: I’m always looking for new venues, mind you. I’m starting to think that maybe local craft fairs and so forth may be more fertile ground. We’ll see!
