    I'm having the time of my life, no stress, nothing... 

    Then, I wake to the horror that is... publishing!

    Pitching my book, promoting it, sending email after email, posting, tweeting… Yes, I just can't get enough of feeling awkward, humbled, and struggling every step of the way.

    Oh, joy!

    Because I'm a writer, I'm a glutton for punishment. So, here's some more! I just updated the writing sample with the second chapter from UP, DOWN, NOW.

    Nearly everything in the book flowed from that title. well, except for "The Continuing Misadventures of Gung Ho and Little Pluck." That came on a straight line from graffiti in Pompeii via Tijuana Bibles and South Park, but that story is for another update.

    The first chapter, "To Your Scattered Mines, GO!" references the Riverworld series by Philip José Farmer, the first adult science fiction I ever read. The second, "Stranger in a Strange Room," is a reference to Robert Heinlein. I read Heinlein's mature works before his reading his YA (that is, his 'juvenile novels' were YA before there was YA).
