Brief Worldcon Update

Yeah, so in case you missed it, Worldcon is happening this weekend. I’m here in Anaheim, at the Anaheim Marriott, which is 400 feet or so from the convention center. Just taking a break to file a story for SCI FI Wire, and to email some of the interviews I did to myself, for backup reasons. So far, I interviewed Artist Guest of Honor James Gurney (about his new art portfolio, Home Planet), and Mike Resnick (about his new anthology, Space Cadets, which is a Worldcon publication). Details? You’ll have to wait for the SCI FI Wire stories, I’m afraid.

As for the con itself, it’s going quite well. Having a lot of fun chatting with all kinds of talented and important people. But enough blogging for now. Hey, I’m at Worldcon, I’m going to go do con stuff!

Jordan’s Condition Good, But Mixed

SCI FI Wire published a news bit/update I wrote about Robert Jordan’s condition.

Admittedly, it’s not much of a story, but you can go read it here (and keep up with the ongoing tribulations by visiting Jordan’s blog.)

Hellstrom Reborn In Satan

SCI FI Wire published a piece I wrote about Alex Irvine’s new Marvel Comics miniseries, Son of Satan, a revivial of the Daimon Hellstrom character.

Slush Bomb

This is the devastation caused by the slush bomb. I haven’t counted them or anything, but this is what I have to work with (this is Saturday through Tuesday’s slush).

Gah! And I’m off to Worldcon tomorrow, so there might be a slight increase in response times…

Grandpa smoking, part 1

Originally uploaded by slushgod.

Went to visit my grandfather today, and while I was there, I experimented with the “burst” function on my digital camera, which allows you to take a rapid series of photos. To test it out, I took a series of pictures to capture him taking a drag on his cigarette. This is the result.

Boot Camps for Writers

Waiting for me when I got home from work yesterday was my contributor copy of the 2007 Novel & Short Story Writer’s Market. In it is my article “Boot Camps for Writers: Whip Your Speculative Fiction Into Shape.” It is, as the title implies, an overview of the various SF writing workshops (Clarion and its ilk). In my humble opinion, I think it’s a good piece, and will serve the NSSWM audience well. It’s pretty comprehensive, and lists all the logistical information (price, length of workshop, starting dates, etc.) for each workshop, which I think would make it easy to compare and contrast them to see which would work best for you.

So, go to your local bookstore and check it out. Hell, buy a copy if you want to (though I don’t get royalties or anything, so I’m not going to beg).

Conviser Foresees Echelon

SCI FI Wire just published a piece I wrote about Josh Conviser’s first novel Echelon, which speculates on the future of government domestic spying.

Seeker Finds Lost Place

SCI FI Wire just published a piece I wrote about Jack McDevitt’s recent win of the 2006 Southeastern Science Fiction Achievement Award for best novel (for Seeker).

Goose

Why did the goose cross the road?

To go visit his war buddy at the Menlo Park Veteran’s Home obviously!

The geese were flocking around the entrance to the Veteran’s Home when I went to visit my grandfather the other day. I took pictures. I could have taken pictures of the huge gobs of crap that littered the sidewalk too, but I restrained myself.
