So I don’t know if I’d be any less of a geek without Star Trek, but I’d certainly be a different geek.

Thanks, guys. Happy 45th. Live even longer and prosper-er. Or something like that.

If you’re not already sick of hearing from me, I’ve got a new interview up at the page of the inestimable Phil Athans. Within, we discuss (among other things) the definition of fantasy, writing inspiration, gaming as it relates to writing, and plenty of other things that you may or may not find nearly as interesting as I do.

I wanted to offer my congrats to all the 2011 Hugo Award Winners–but most specifically to Lou Anders of Pyr Books, easily one of the top three editors I’ve worked with to date. 😀

Great job, Lou.

(So do we all get raises, now?) 😉

While not nearly as irksome as my first example, I do find it seriously frustrating…

When I come up with a fantastic image, scene, or basic concept that I know would make an absolutely amazing basis for a story…

But for the life of me, I can’t figure out where to take it, what to do with it, or what story to actually tell with it! 👿

How is it only just now registering in the feeble mass of crossed circuitry I call a brain that I only have three days between the end of ArmadilloCon and the day I have to fly out for DragonCon? 😯

I’m going to be such a useless lump by the time this is all over…

I hate it, hate it, hate it…

When I dig up the notes/summary I wrote for a story months (or even years) ago, and those notes allude to, but do not spell out, a particular character secret or plot twist…

And I realize that I cannot, for the life of me, remember what it was I was talking about! 😡
