Happy Halloween!

Happy Great Pumpkin Day, everyone! Looks like I’ll be running straight from the HERO revision into NaNoWriMo (for which I will be trying to knock out as much of BELOVED as I can), so the blog’s going to stay pretty sparse for a while.

In Which AlphaOops TAKES OVER THE WORLD

The Writers Workshop of Science Fiction and Fantasy

This is one of those projects I contributed to so long ago that I keep forgetting about it — The Writers Workshop of Science Fiction and Fantasy, edited by Michael Knost.

On the Gelett Burgess Award

I received more shiny golden stickers in the mail for the Gelett Burgess Children’s Book Award — those of you who see me in person can get one to add to your copy of Enchanted! — and I was curious about the symbol they used, so I asked about it. Here was the response from the Gelett Burgess Center:…

Now that I’ve finished the first draft of Hero and sent it off, I am free to catch up on ALL THE THINGS, like the link to this article which appeared on USA Today’s Happy Ever After blog (like a month ago), in which I (and a bunch of other big famous authors) shared…
