Well well well.
Another Wednesday night, another opportunity to drop by the Draumr Chat Room and discuss with me why I have been so lax in my blogging! Alternatively we can talk books… publishing… music… and where I'm going to be going in a few weeks for some crazy tabletop gaming action.
8:00 PM Eastern. See you…
Hello all.
Enjoying a hot and humid DC-area summer here. Between the weather and the politics, one wonders what this place has over Hell somedays.
Ahem.
Draumr Publishing continues our ramp-up for the Baltimore Book Festival. Rida and I were eyeballing our display stuff yesterday, and I think it's going to be a great show visually – not…
Well, we aren't. We're just quiet.
Busy and quiet.
Also, WISHING we were on vacation. Or at least that our various and sundry problems would take a vacation so that we could just get some productive word done!

Yeah, I have no idea what that title means either.
What I DO know is that I'll be chatting tonight from 8:00 – 10:00 about practically people want to talk about. And for ADDED fun, ask Rob about politics!

Gotta love this region. We can hit 100 degrees out before the start of summer.
I think the sun is in cahoots with our local power company who have skyjacked our rates and we're now paying more for power than some people pay in rent. So baking the outdoors so that we retreat inside with the A/C turned roughly to "Artic Dawn"…
Music!
Of late I've been trying to expose some friends to some new music. I myself am constantly prowling for new and interesting music in the genres that I love, and even some from the genres I don't love. Yet some of my friends seem to get a handful of bands, or maybe just a period of time, and stick with it.
Forever.
This idea…
You'd think a writer could handle it….
As I've said before, Rida does all of the heavy lifting here. I really just get away with being mean and generally hostile on command. It's worked well for me!
So when I take the reigns on new projects from Rida, I get to learn all of the stumbling blocks that I never realized were…
Yes, I really should be making daily commentary. I'm sure I have enough spare wit within me to keep you all enthralled on a daily basis.
And yes, that will be the biggest joke I tell during this entry.
While I'd like to tell you that I've been swamped with Draumr business I've largely been spending my time sneezing. This…
It amazes me that with my huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge backlog of stuff to read, there are still books that I will grab and re-read in preference to getting through the pile.
Recently, this has been Neil Gaiman's completely fantastic "American Gods". I had just finished his new collection "Fragile Things" which contained a novella…
