I was reading through some of the sites that I normally glance through at work (one has to choose carefully or they will ban them) and found this interview by David Weber on SciFi.  http://www.scifi.com/sfw/interviews/sfw15625.html

In this he talks about writing, and how writers should both not think themselves better than their readers and should pay attention to the readers' comments, as they just might have noticed something that the author may  not have realized about their own works.  Though the end part was dissapointing in that there does not seem to be a main-line Honor Harrington or Prince Roger book coming any time soon

Also just to prove that I'm not all about sex and violence as some might think from my own writing, I present cuteness....Hidden behind the cut for those of you who can't stand cuteness.

New news today...all 12 million copies of Deathly Hallows will be printed on recycled paper.  

Hopefully she'll actually make it not a waste of ink and paper, though I'm not holding my breath.   Since the last one...not so much. 

On another note, has anyone, besides me, seen the "Hermione" on G4TV on the dish, on their "geek fantasies" vinette...Trying to make sure that I'm not going insane.  Let's just say that if you haven't that she's lost any "ugly duckling" issues long since.   Though frankly, most of that was gone, imho, in canon about book 3.  

I have also, rediscovered my problems with naming OC's especially since all of them are OC's by definition.  I just get locked up trying to come up with names for people, now the AI's...they are easy as thier names are just derivitizations of longer names.  


Back to the trenches.
