Big thunderstorm this morning - and thoughts on cats, software updates, the movie Tully, weight loss and gain, and updates on THE DRAGONS OF SUMMER. For those interested, Lindsay Buroker's podcast, the Science Fiction & Fantasy Marketing Podcast, is here https://www.marketingsff.com/. (Gorgeous pancake breakfast courtesy of Minerva Spencer, from my weekend visit to Taos.)

Waxing artistic today with thoughts on living a creative life, Georgia O'Keeffe, the beauty of autumn in Santa Fe and Taos - and how being a writer, what that involves, changes as your career grows. I also share a bit from Georgia that Margaret sent me, some lovely thoughts on how balancing art and the necessities of living. Some thoughts, too, on persevering through querying and pitching.

I'm discussing the structure of fantasy novels, particularly The Lions of Al-Rassan by Guy Gavriel Kay, and whether a story built on human history with token fantasy elements should really be called fantasy.

Social media - what you can and can't learn about it - and a review of Carrie Fisher's The Princess Diarist and what I wish it had done. Occasional interruptions by a bored, snowbound cat very interested in the microphone cable.

My very spoilery review of The Wife - along with thoughts on being a woman and a writer. Also thanks for the love on THE ARROWS OF THE HEART! (I do give fair warning to tap out before spoilers.)

Today is the Release Day for THE ARROWS OF THE HEART! So, I talk about that, with thanks to the early reviewers for getting stuff up on Amazon so fast! I also talk a bit about spoilers and why America's Sweethearts isn't a better movie.

A bit of cat wrangling due to a jailbreak today, along with thoughts on copyediting, preparing a book for publication, and a bit more on 1st person POV, because I can't let it go.
