Some quick news tidbits:

• Hey! You people are very stupid. I mean, “very awesome.” Six of you entered the Contest With No Prize (And Everybody’s A Winner!), and you’ll be seeing these fantastic entries (seriously, they’re a fistful of awesome) probably tomorrow, maybe later today. I’ll be slapping them up under the Holy Shit, Free Thing! page.
• I’m busy this week, so don’t yell at me if you’ve emailed me and I didn’t write back, or I did write back and I was e-mailing in tongues.
• Current projects on deck: Secret Video Game Project, Secret TV Project, Secret Film Project, Not Really Secret Novel Project, and No-Longer-Secret World of Darkness: Mirrors.
• I received a truly lovely rejection from an agent this week, an agent with whom I was able to communicate thanks to a reader who’s been quietly reading this blog for many years. She liked the project, but doesn’t think the book is quite right for the market in which she operates (children, YA).
• I do believe I’ll be speaking at DIY Days: Philadelphia this year. More info as I know it!
• It currently looks like the fucking Apocalypse outside. No joke. I was just out there 10 minutes ago with the dogs, and it was warm, and misty, and a little gray. It’s now black at the Devil’s semen, and thunder is on a constant drum roll, like the sound of a boulder bounding down a mountain slope. Rumble, boom. I expect Jesus on his white horse to kick down my door at any moment, offer his hand, and say, “Come with me if you want to live.”
• My Flickr plug-in still isn’t working right. The widget’s fine. The “Insert Into Post,” not so much. Damnit.
