note to self: Rule #3679 for survival as a writer

[lagilman]

Take the book seriously. Not yourself.

(no real anecedote behind this, just a reminder my brain gave me this morning I figured I'd pass along to anyone who hadn't gotten there yet, or might have forgotten)

EtA: also, I hear rumors that FREE FALL got not-unkind things said about it in this month's Locus. Anyone got a copy?

Are you known for teaching Klingon or do you actually teach it? For credit? At a California university? (Sorry. I couldn't resist.)

I am known for it, and actually teach it.

(and these I do not sell for gold or coin of silvery shine...)

Credit? Well, yes an no, but not the kind you can probably cash in at a UC or CSU.
