On this day in 1982 were born Aliera and Carolyn Brust, who came into the world to brighten it for the rest of us. Soon they’ll be able drink, and I’ll have to talk to them about S-E-X. In the meantime, happy birthday!
Armadillocon
Off to Austin for Armadillocon. Hope to see some of you there!
Hey, you got a band?
We’re looking for some bands to help us engage in some viral marketing . Are you in a band? Do you have a friend who is in one? Post a link to your music here, or else send it to Kit at dreamcafe dot com, and we’ll give it a listen. Ideally this should involve good publicity both for our project and any bands we end up working with.
Thanks.
Again with the rewrite
Yet again, I have to start a full rewrite before finishing the first draft. This is unusual for me–I like to get to the end before doing major revisions. But all of a sudden PLOT showed up in the book, so what can I do?
The good news is that this is a much less significant rewrite than the last, and involves mostly a lot of cutting and pasting. In draft form, I’ve finished chapter 14, and I suspect when I get finished with the rewrite, I’ll probably be in about the same place, only this time with a clear view to the end.
On the baking of bread
So, we have this bread-making machine, used by Kit. In an LJ post by Txanne, we learn that many believe that using such a machine produces bread that isn’t as good as hand-made. I’m curious. Is there actually a reason for this? I mean, a reason that Alton Brown would find reasonable?
