September 30, 2010 13

I have no idea where that phrase comes from. We picked up some sort of crud in California and it is just bloody awful. Noses are clogged, throats are hurting, and everybody is nauseous. Weee! The plane ride was the worst: Alaska airlines are smooth as silk, but the pressure clogged my ears and made…

Questions: What inspires you to write? I mean … did you just have this great story and you guys were like “man we could make a lot of money with this best seller idea” or is it just something you enjoy doing – creating a world – creating amazingly funny/lovable characters? (that perhaps we all…

At Armadillocon, I found a rust-colored kimono with a gold trim. I figured it would be itchy, but it was soft and silky, and I really liked it. A friend suggested I buy it, to which I said, “Yes, but when would I wear it?” It’s so pretty, almost too pretty for the casual wear,…
