The Forthcoming Nebulas Weekend...

will be May 19th-May 22nd, in Washington, DC. Yes, Skiffy is invading the nation's capitol. We'll try to do less damage than the British (and much less than the Tea Party) did.

However, should you happen to be in the area that weekend, and you have any interest in getting things (books, shirts, body part) signed, or meeting Famous Writers (and the rest of us), then then you should come by the Open Mass Signing Friday, May 20 from 5:30 to 7:00 at the Washington Hilton, 1919 Connecticut NW, Washington, DC. The signing is open to the public.

C'mon down. DC in the spring is pretty, and we throw a damn good party...

Guess what I'm doing today?

I've had excellent CEs before.  I've had mediocre/mostly harmless ones before.  I've never had one that changed words to WRONG usages, had no idea about basic epic fantasy terminology (and failed to look it up), AND rewrote random sentences not because they were incorrect but (apparently) because the CE didn't like them - and then chirpily asked "ok?"  No.  NOT OKAY.

I should be done with this by now, not barely 1/4 of the way through.  Your job is supposed to be to make things cleaner, not muck them up.


[and yes, my editor has been informed that I am Not Thrilled.  But the damage has been done]
