After several days' worth of writer's block, I broke out and wrote over four thousand words on Harmony yesterday. Hooray! (That's about twelve pages for the non-writers out there, or about four times what I usually write in a day.) Here's hoping I can make it a trend.

Neil Gaiman linked to this Guardian interview with Ursula LeGuin. LeGuin is an idol of mine, so I was quite happy about that. Unfortunately I gather that the interview was via email or somesuch, and is somewhat living proof that interviews ought to be conducted in person. Typical exchange:

Q: Perhaps you feel a bit out of step with your contemporaries?

UKL: Why should a woman of 74 want to be "in step with" anybody? Am I in an army, or something?

... but still very worth reading; she's an intelligent and opinionated woman, Ms. LeGuin.

Oh, and then there's this, via A Violently Executed Blog.

I am a Halo. I believe I am perfect. Others may not think so, but those others are wrong. What Sort of Hat Are You?

Apparently, if I were not a Halo, I'd be A Baseball Cap. Go figure.

I will be getting back into this blog and, y'know, posting and answering comments and stuff, soon. Promise.
