A Final Plug for the Superstars of Writing Seminar
Categories: People In SF The Writing Process Writing Help ConventionsI thought I'd do one final plug for the Superstars of Writing seminar I've been invited to attend.

Reader Mail (Regarding TGS Release Date)
Categories: Reader Mail A Memory of Light The Writing Process The Gathering StormI'm back! Thank you to everyone who came to see me in Nebraska. I had a great time.
