In other news

First, (for the readers) I have a novel nearly ready to submit, as you might notice if you track the sidebar. Mismatched Parts is going through some edits before I send it off.

  • Overcoming a Fear of Failure

For authors

  • Editing, Once More with Feeling (enhancing resonance between sensory input and emotional response)
  • Copy-Edit Cheat Sheet (doing your own copy-edit pass before sending your story out)

For authors or role-playing gamers

  • Making Infinite Worlds in Finite Time
