Journal Entry

Heh

So here I was, wondering how to write a post pointing out that Russell Davis is running for SFWA president, and it sounds like Andrew Burt is running (but hasn’t posted his running statement anywhere publicly accessible for some… reason) for SFWA president, and what I thought of that, when John Scalzi went and just basically said what needed to be said right here.

Thanks for saving me the time, John, and I do here chime in with a hearty ‘amen!’

Andrew Burt must believe in resurrection; if this doesn’t bring Damion Knight up from his grave, nothing will.

I wonder how badly he’ll lose.

I’m afraid he wouldn’t lose (name recognition, new thrust to use – poor – rhetoric on SFWA public LJ). Then it might be time to check out those nice Romance Writers or Authors Guild people and see what they have to offer.

Of course, that cuts both ways. If Burt is known as a screw-up, people might take a leap of faith on Davis.

Also complicating that is fact that Thalia needs to be home tommorow since she has a cold: cough, runny nose, mild fever. 6 hrs ago

I fell asleep at 7:30pm and woke up at 12:30 due to coughing kid. Awake now. Will be interesting to see when I get tired. 6 hrs ago

Of course, I'm risking cliche. But these are the travails of being an entertainer: in realism vs keep story moving, moving wins 6 hrs ago

Mmm. The extended rise to leader of army plot sequence in this novella will be cut in favor of Duel To Death! Other way is long/boring. :) 6 hrs ago

Thalia's home today sick. Poor kid. Poor Toby's deadline LOL. 18 hrs ago
