I just totally recorded an audiobook, guys. Or at least whatever an audiobook short story is called? Let’s say it’s still an audiobook.

At any rate, I’m keeping it exclusive to my Patreon, at least for a while. Perhaps you’d like to pledge just a dollar month, to gain access to it and many other interesting things?

Normally this runs every other Sunday or so; I figure a lot of you might have met me at IndyPopCon this weekend and landed here. Hi!

Booth 1213.5!

It’s small but it’s mine. Come see me at IndyPopCon!

Come see me at IndyPopCon this weekend!

I’m going to be in Booth 1213 on the vendor floor at the Indianapolis Convention Center, sharing a booth with Michelle Wern, who may not be aware of just how much fun it is going to be to be crammed into an 8′ x 10′ booth with me and all of my con shit for three entire days. It is eight o’clock in the morning and I am halfway through my morning coffee. I have approximately six thousand and ten things to do (including mowing the goddamn yard and taking the dog to be boarded at the vet, which is eight thousand miles away) between now and my wife getting home from work at noon, so I probably ought to finish the coffee and stop mucking about on the Internet.

But mucking about on the Internet is fun, so here we are. I didn’t do IndyPopCon last year, but it was a hell of a lot of fun in 2016 and I’m really looking forward to this show. This will be the first con I’ve done twice, so we’ll see if anybody remembers me from last time.

Speaking of boarding the dog, I can see the toxic-ass fart she just dropped, so it’s definitely time to make her go away and I ought to start accomplishing things. Photos to come!

On milestones

This is the fifth anniversary of the beginning of this blog. Starting tomorrow, it will be my longest-lived Web presence. My very last post at my original blog site at Xanga, of blessed memory, was also a fifth anniversary post, but by that point the blog was all but abandoned anyway and I just happened to notice and post on the right day.

Amazingly, this is also a milestone for the number of posts I have made on the blog. It is, believe it or not, post number two thousand and five hundred. I have somehow averaged five hundred posts a year over the last five years, a number that I don’t even believe, except that I’ve checked it half a dozen ways and WordPress is insisting that it’s true.

I did have a two-year run of posting every day at one point, and I had over 700 posts in 2014. It’s ridiculous, but it’s true.

It is rather difficult to express just how important writing for this site has been for me over the past five years. I can’t really say that it’s brought me fame or fortune, but seeing as how this is the site that has launched my writing career (such as it is) it has genuinely changed my life. I’ve written six books during that five years, started a company, and started going to conventions to promote my books. With the help of my new Patreon site, I’m going to be experimenting with new ways to promote the site and my work, so the remainder of 2018 has a chance to be really big for me. If I ever do gain fame and fortune– and, to be honest, I’ll gladly settle for “moderately well known” and “don’t have to worry about my bills”– the work I’ve done here will be the foundation for it.

Genuinely, to everyone who has ever commented, linked, Liked, shared, forwarded, followed, anything around here: thank you. Thank you so very, very much.

Onward.
