http://www.kvtaylor.com/welcome Mon, 06 Sep 2010 19:44:49 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en The 10 By Then rush of last month (not doing it this month, as I'm up to my eyeballs in The Resurrectionists edits, but I'm cheering from the sidelines!) brought several things to my attention in terms of my own patterns, my comfort zone, and the real measure of my ... http://www.kvtaylor.com/welcome/2010/09/06/sleeping-with-monsters/ Well I can't sleep right now because I just finished The Black Act (as in, all at once, today) and my brain is all excited. But it's time for more book questions anyhow, so let's do this thing! So now: 30 Days of Books, part 4. Day 16 – Favorite poem or ... http://www.kvtaylor.com/welcome/2010/09/05/part-4-of-the-neverending-book-meme-yay/ Let me get the bad part out of the way. Ah, my #10bythen compatriots, I have failed you. I will now show you how badly I have failed you: Those are all of my submissions for August. All--and there are only six. Not, as the terms of the bet stipulate, ten. My ... http://www.kvtaylor.com/welcome/2010/09/03/fail-but-also-win/ Well look what we made. The first issue of The Red Penny Papers is aliiiiiive! http://www.kvtaylor.com/welcome/2010/09/01/the-red-penny-papers-1/ Well it's time for another--and that's good because I'm not equipped to do anything with my brain right now. I've given up trying to get any closer to #10bythen, but RPP goes live tomorrow! Wee! So here we go, more 30 Days of Books, chock full o' nerdery: Day 11 – A ... http://www.kvtaylor.com/welcome/2010/08/31/30-days-returns/ Ohhh Context 23. I had to bail early for family stuff, so I only got one night and a day out of it (missed the legendary Shroud party and ALL of the readings--bah!), but what I got of it was great fun. The last con I went to, I'd made maybe ... http://www.kvtaylor.com/welcome/2010/08/30/brief-context-post-announcement/ I've had a productive couple of days before I must head out of town on my way to Context. I'm hanging out with the parents tomorrow night (they live between here and there somewhere) and then it's off to--I don't know. Act like a professional all weekend. Wait, I am ... http://www.kvtaylor.com/welcome/2010/08/25/30-days-2-im-off/ So I think something light and ridiculous is called for. Seeing as my "somewhat obsolete intellectual equipment"* is taxed to the limit between a certain bet (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE), organizing my Philadelphia research, the upcoming release of The Red Penny Papers, and soon, preparations for Context 23, well, ... http://www.kvtaylor.com/welcome/2010/08/21/30-days-of-books-part-1/ Words have been failing me since I heard the news about Jamie and Ann Eyberg. For the first 24 hours all I could really say was, "God, I don't even have the words." Which, you will note, is not much worth saying. What I was trying to get out was that ... http://www.kvtaylor.com/welcome/2010/08/20/words/ Because this blog doesn't have enough nerdery already. So as I was saying last time, this trip to Phila. was in search of three pretty specific things that I couldn't find in books or the net--at least not to this degree of time, place, and personal specificity. So here's what I ... http://www.kvtaylor.com/welcome/2010/08/18/more-nerdery/
