I somehow forgot to tell you about this, I think. Codex Writer’s Group is an online group for neo-pro writers. To be a member, you have to have made a pro-sale or attended one of the big audition only workshops ((Clarion, Odyssey, OSC’s BootCamp, etc.)) which means that it’s chock-full of some very talented writers.

No, really. I mean it this time. I’m extremely pleased to get in because some part of my brain was sure that the April Fool’s Prank was totally going to jinx me out of going. I’m relieved my superstitions didn’t play out. And super excited to be going to space camp. I mean, big telescopes!

PRX now has “The Confessions of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde” by the Willamette Radio Workshop. I perform in this as various cast members and at about the 2:30 mark, you get to hear my b-movie scream. (Now, you do have to register for PRX to listen to this, but it’s a pretty painless registration.)

Finally, we got our futon. Whew. We also picked up a gorgeous bookcase from the early 1900s. The folks that sold us the futon said, “Need anything else?” And we said, “Bookcases?” Behold, for reasons that are unclear to me, they wanted to get rid of this glassfront bookcase which had belonged to the husband’s

For unknown reasons, all of the electrical outlets in the workshop stopped working. I need my power tools. Argh. I did what hand work I could, but had to wrap up around four o’clock because I just ran out of things I could do.

I’m teaching a workshop at Orycon on reading aloud. How does this text sound as a blurb? You may be a good writer, but reading aloud is a separate skill. In this workshop, learn to make your words sound as great out loud as they do on the page. Using both demonstration and audience participation,
Tobias S. Buckell Online » Blog Archive » Listen to a story of I read: Waiting for the Zephyr can be heard online for free at the Spoken Alexandria Project. The story is narrated by the talented Mary Robinette Kowal of the Willamette Radio Workshop.
On Friday, lightning struck the server that hosts my website and email. Their surge protectors failed and my site went up in smoke. It finally came back up, and I’m reloading things, but I don’t know how long it will take. Some things will just be lost. Unfortunately, Willamette Radio Workshop’s site was on the

According to Sue, owner of Lessons Learned, the folks she was pitching to really liked the concept. Which means my popups and cards were successful. She has to go out of town this week, so we won’t start working on it until Monday and the pilot workshop is a week from Friday. Yoicks. I went
I spent today working on maintanence again. Apparently my sanding and varnishing skills, honed from puppet-making and home-repair, are highly valued at the Spirit because they’ve asked me to come back tomorrow to do some additional detailing. La. In the evening, Rob and I biked down to Sam and Cindy’s (Hi Sam) for the Willamette

We closed the workshop and everything went great. Chris is doing a rewrite of the script. Emily and I will begin to design in earnest after that.
The workshop performances of Arabian Nights continue to go well. I’m happy with the twist that I added to the design last night and I showed my rough sketches to the gang. They all seem to like them. We’ll see if it works as I start to get into the nitty gritty details. Oh. Mom
