9. Seriously, just use the contact form. I don't really answer messages received through any other channel in any sort of a reasonable time (and I don't answer Facebook messages at all).
8. I am making cioppino tomorrow night! I am so excited about that! Except...
7. ...I'm making it for me and Olivia to eat while we watch "The Quarterback" and cry. I know Glee is a frequently terrible show, but I am genuinely saddened by Cory's death, and this is going to be emotionally devastating.
6. The tip jar is remaining open until tomorrow morning, largely because I forgot to post this reminder yesterday. Thanks to everyone who's chipped in so far, and to everyone who hasn't, too, because sometimes life says "not this time." Y'all are awesome.
5. So awesome, in fact, that I am compelled to make sure you've seen the incredible videos on SymboGen.net. Seriously, this is some of the best marketing ever, and it's for my book. I am overcome with squee.
4. The field of Alice's fucks lies fallow, and I support this.
3. Carrie: The Musical is really fantastic. If you're in the Bay Area, I recommend the Ray of Light production, now playing in San Francisco. If you're not, look around; there are a lot of productions going right now, due to the rights opening up.
2. Zombies are love.
1. HAPPY OCTOBER HALLOWEEN IS COMING.

And yes, zombies are love. <3

I hope your cioppino (which Firefox refuses to believe is a real word) is marvelous.

Support the creative Arts, of all sorts, and they will support you...
[Quote is from Diane Duane's "Young Wizardry" series, of which I still own the very battered paperback first novel, ordered from my elementary school's Scholastic Book Club.]
...Hey, has anyone started a favorite line/quotation thread on Indexing before, or have I missed it? I'll go see if I can start one with a post a little later tonight...

I love what they're doing with the in-world Twitter feed (@SymboGenCorp) as well. Just enough plugs for the book so that everyone knows what's going on, but it's mostly content, not ads.
Nicely done, Orbit Books.

1. You still have a day job.
Your grandest self, your self inspired by the gods, lives when you write. Is it the best use of your talents for you to do something else eight hours a day? I ask this in complete ignorance of whatever it is you do. If it's brain surgery, perhaps I am mistaken.
(If you need a day job for the health insurance, I hope you've checked out Obamacare. I have become a pimp for Obamacare; it will reduce my family's premiums by $14,000 and give us vastly better coverage.)
2. You listen to music while writing.
Is this instrumental music? I can't imagine writing with words coming in my ears. Too much interference. "The words go in, the words go out, the words play pinochle..."
Of course you do what works for you. My surprise is a symptom of my inability to imagine how unlike me other people are.
As always, you have comment amnesty on my comments.

Good luck with the cioppino! That one of those dishes I adore but have never made, because it intimidates the living daylights out of me.
Happy October!
