My birthday party was great. Everyone came, except two of my friends who had a baby. I told them it was a valid excuse.

I'm not going to wax philosophical or anything. I just want to say that every year gets better. I'm a better person than I was last year, and I appreciate the goodness of the people around me more than I did last year. I don't know how next year can get better than this one, but here's hoping.

Raise a glass to me today, my internet porn friends.

Happy belated birthday, oh wise yarn woman.

I'll call it "fairly well" because I can't think of an accurate way to describe my process. I got to 50k words in the book and, about a month ago, stalled the fuck out. I have no idea if the narrative is coherent, or if the characters make any sense, or anything. I also think I might be about 1/3 of the way through the book, which is alarming. So I'm taking time off, writing short stories and just trying to clear my mind. Next week I'm going to World Fantasy Con in Austin, where I will eat grits and get drunk with editors and agents and pray to god I don't get too drunk and make a fool of myself in front of the people who could well change my career. And then I will come home, read the book and then start working on it again. Or not.

But yeah, it's good to be back.
