I turned in my second Clarion piece today, my second in three days. It’s — I don’t know, I went to my book thing this morning and then wrote for six hours. I’m too close to predict how it’ll go over.

If I was smart, I’d get to work on the next one, but I just can’t do it.

I met Ted Chiang last night! And he was cool. It’s so weird – Nancy Kress is one of my favorite authors ever, and I got to hang out with her for a week, and then I got to talk a little to Chiang, who likely is constantly approached by random people and Clarion students at these vents.
