Thanks, Ookla.  I appreciate your stopping by for me.  

My goal is to use Stephen as my cover artist well into the future.

You'll have to write something with giant robots in it.

When are you going to update your blog?

I've never had one of those before.  How often do people update them?  And, do you think it would be a good idea to do it on a set day(s) of the week?

CJ Cherryh updates hers almost every day... I dunno, update whenever you have something to say. But I'm thinking 2-3 times a week would be a good frequency for when to have things to say. ;)

I'm not so interested in Cherryh's ice-skaing lessons; it's more interesting when she talks about the writing.

For a while in this forum you were posting in that update thread, with how many pages you wrote per session. Mundane mechanical details like that can actually be interesting to the public.

the purpose of a blog is to have a regular update that people can come back to see, so they come back often. So you should definitely do it more often than once every few weeks.

It's definatly a vast Left Wing conspericy to force the metric system upon unsuspecting Amercians.


Also I think you should at least update your blog once a week.  Until we start getting other content that will be the only thing that would make a person return to the site with in a decent amount of time.

I think you should write about the fish episode.

It would be good blog material.

it's quite an exaggeration. By far the biggest space-taker was booths of people selling comic books. There WAS a large anime presence, but the Lord of the Rings booth and the Star Wars booth added together probably covered more ground than all the anime booths added together except maybe a couple of them.

The comic book shop booths were generally small, but there were zillions of them.
