Diana Wynne Jones has died. She was born on August 16th, 1934.
"Pretending was like that. Things seemed to make themselves up, once you got going."
Fire and Hemlock (1985)

Just read an article online about the increase in the US Hispanic population, now the second largest ethnic group in the nation (50+ million, accounting for 16.3 percent of the U.S. population of 308,745,538). And then I made the mistake of glancing at the readers' comments, which, in the main, consisted of racial slurs and cries of alarm about impending white extinction. My favorite, some idiot blaming abortion and gay rights for the "fall of the white man." What do you say to shit like that?

Spooky and I thank everyone who helped to make our first Kickstarter project an enormous success. When the donation period ended last night, we had 212% of our funding. So, The Tale of the Ravens will happen, and Goat Girl Press is born. Thank you all.

Yesterday, I wrote 1,125 words on "Random Thoughts Before a Fatal Crash." It's a strange start to a strange story. It may not even be a story, precisely. But then, the title says that.
There was also a lot of non-writing writing busyness. And I signed contracts. And stuff.
I'm loving Markus Zusak's The Book Thief.
And I'm tired and dreamsick, and just want warm weather and the sea.
