I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence
And so the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're goin' through

12 Drummers Drumming

Jeff VanderMeer on novel openings which also relate to how to set the scene and get a story going. He's doing it as a discussion, so go and have at (of course he's also using his latest novel "Finch" as the example - no, you don't have to have read it to participate).

Cathy Clamp talks about the differences between distributor and wholesaler over on Writer Beware. Go and learn.

Jim Hines is spilling the beans on comparative sales info and 2009 writing income.

Lightspeed is now open for submissions.

I was going to do more, but my arm is killing me. Last sentence took 2 breaks to rub arm. If I'm scarce for a bit, you know why.
