Playful job

Random quote of the day:

“If you ever want to find out just how uninteresting you really are, get a job where the quality and frequency of your thoughts determine your livelihood. I’ve found that the only way I can keep writing every day, year after year, is to let my mind wander into new territories. To do that, I’ve had to cultivate a kind of mental playfulness.”

—Bill Watterson, “Some Thoughts On the Real World By One Who Glimpsed It and Fled,” Kenyon College Commencement, May 20, 1990

All Hail, Jaime!

Congratulations to stillnotbored for just scoring a three book hardcover deal with Tor books!! She's worked so hard and long to get here and I can't help getting a little weepy thinking about this, but it's a good weepy! A really good weepy!

And Delia's Shadow (the first of the three books) is a really good book. I'm so excited at the prospect of reading more in the series.
