Bits and pieces for a Friday morning.

I hope the month has treated everyone well, and even more, I hope the week has treated you wonderfully. We're sliding into fall, the month of my heart, and October is going to be just amazing this year. You'll see.

As always, I am fighting against my links, and losing; because of this, I need to burn a few of them off. Don't worry, they make a lovely light.

First up, Lesley Smith (who still likes me, even though I killed her in "San Diego 2014") interviewed me for Amazing Stories. It's a very honest interview, which means that some parts of it are sad and some are not, and some are just me being faintly confused. Check it out!

I also did a "ask Seanan anything" interview over at Worlds Without End, and had a lot of fun answering their questions. It's silly and strange and includes some stuff about why I don't say things.

We're kind of on a roll with the interviews, so here: here is me talking to the nice folks at Omnivoracious about lots of things, including a picture of the exact moment when I realized that the cover of Parasite mirrors the colors used to signify "this shit here belongs to the Umbrella Corporation" and was overcome with geeky joy.

...and you know, that's only three items, but it seems like a good place to stop, because this is more of an "interview roundup" than a "review roundup," and that's okay.

Happy Friday everyone!

Reading these interviews reminds me that I used to write, once upon a time, and before I had kids, I wanted to continue writing and sell my stories and turn them into novels and be an author. I don't quite know what happened to that, but for a long time, I didn't even think about it. Recently I have been thinking about it again. You make me think I could actually do it. I mean, because I knew you "before", when you were just one of us regular people, and because I think I'm pretty similar to you, except that I really can't reliably carry a tune, but I'm not thinking about singing anything, just writing, so, you know... if you can do it, then in theory, I could, too.

The main problem now is that I don't know where all my ideas went. I remember having a whole bunch of seeds of ideas, universes that I could explore and expand and turn into any number of stories, once. But right now, I don't seem to have a single world to write about. So there's that. Once I find a world... I think I might just give it a try. :)

Re-read this when I came across the copy in my email folder, and... haha! If I was going to ever write something to actually try to sell, I'd have to write a lot better than I do in rambly LJ comments! :)

Ideas don't matter. Execution does.

Just write, and you will be amazing. :)
