Web access is going to be sporadic the next couple weeks, I'll be off and on.  The good news is that maybe without all my other distractions I'll be able to get some serious writing done.

And speaking of writing, I have a piece in the September/October edition of Vision.  It's called "Why Write?" and answers that question--geared specifically toward speculative fiction.  Find it here:

Why Write?

Hello. I checked you out and you are a real writer.

Do you like to write stories for other people? Have you ever done that? I suck at writing, but I have all of these stories in my head and I think if they were written down properly then they would be very good stories. I have tried for 10 years to write them down properly but failed, and have concluded that the only way to get it done is to ask someone else to do it for me.
