Revision
Thanks to the very sweet Vonday McIntyre and Diane Turnshek, the mini-essay I wrote for the Nebulas on “The Language of Moths” has been replaced with the final version I’d settled on after revision help from Jackie M, who has the most incredible pink hair (saw her at Wiscon this weekend and had a good chat by the elevators about…

Of Nebulas and New York City
Just a quick post before I go back to my busy-busy mode. The Nebulas were an interesting experience, especially as I went not having entertained winning as a possibility for even a moment, and so this provided me with more of an anthropological view of the event.

On my way out
I’m getting ready to head off to NYC for the Nebula Awards ceremony this weekend. I’m not nervous. I’m just excited to have been nominated. That’s a real honor in and of itself. So this will be my last post for a while, unless I get a chance over the next week while I’m in…

The Language of “The Language of Moths”
I’ve been asked to write a short essay on “The Language of Moths” for the Nebula Awards, which has placed me in the awkward position of talking about one of my own stories, which I don’t usually do, or like to do, for various reasons. This is my first stab at it, though. *Revised with…

Final Nebula Ballot
The final Nebula ballot for 2007 has been posted at SFWA. Congratulations to everyone whose stories and books and scripts made it this far. I myself am not holding out to win against the likes of that competition. Seeing how it’s the Oscars time of year and all, I’ll risk saying I would be made ridiculously happy…

Oscars
I watched the first few hours of the Oscars last night, and I’m not sure why everyone in the blogosphere has been so critical. I thought Ellen Degeneres was pretty funny, I liked a lot of the montage sequences for some reason, the shadow people were fun pauses in the show and the sound effects choir…

This is an award Richard Bowes, a noted speculative fiction writer, won last year with his story “There’s a Hole in the City”, which had been published in Scifiction.
