First of all, I want to let you all know that my short story, “Trying to Stay Dead”, is now live on Psuedopod. You should check it out here. Enjoy!

Second, it’s that time of year again: National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), when tens of thousands of people around the world spend the month frantically scribbling away, trying to get 50,000 words by November 30. And again, I’m one of those people. And again, my wife and I are raising funds for the Office of Letters and Light, a worthy organization that promotes creativity among adults and children via programs like National Novel Writing Month, the Young Writers Program, and so on. If we raise $1000, Jennifer and I promise to do an interpretive dance to “Also Sprach Zarathustra”, with our cats. To donate, go here.

Hm. I think that’s all, for now. Happy Halloween! Etc.!
