The question I have is what type of blog are you going for? Entertainment? Insight into the business? Just wanting to stalk your favorites?
News:
A lot of people describe Scalzi’s Old Man's War novels as military science fiction, but I would classify its sequel Zoë’s Tale as a space opera. It’s a story about, well, Zoë, a teenage girl whose parents are invited to take leadership roles in building a colony on a new planet. Zoë is an enthusiastic member of the group sent to colonize Roanoke, despite the risks—and the risks are considerable even before the political machinations of greater powers boil to the surface.

In regards to the second one I've heard him say it a couple of times. I know it's double spaced, but I think the font is 12 courier new, and I'm too lazy to go look right now. He also does all of his novels in manuscript format (underline for italics and such). If you want to see what I'm talking about, download the first version of WB. (Or, really, any of the versions that mention being in manuscript format.)

I think if you look around long enough you can find the first three chapters.
As for meatloaf, if you look on the first page we were all confused about that one.

No worries. I was pretty positive you were calling me out anyways. But here's the thing, you can ask Chris and Josh and Eric, and, well anyone who talks to me for a second. I don't want to be known as the stalker... thus my exclamation points. I don't mind if it's teasing, but I do have to defend myself a little.

Uh. No! Of course I wasn't! Gosh....
Perhaps, as Chris pointed out, 'stalker' was too strong a word. I mean, being an ultra-fan doesn't necessarily equate to being a stalker....generally...
Then who is the other person you were referring to?

I really didn't care for Hero very much. Blue Sword was really good. Keep in mind though that (especially with her later books) the romance (once of my considering factors to any books) seems a bit... rushed? Tacked on? You can see it building but at the same time, I never really love the end results.

Kendra, you'd better not be looking at me as the other person. I am not a freaking stalker! *pout*

It's very kiddie, but Tamora Pierce's Song of the Lionness series is really great for a female protag. Um, I totally second the mortal instruments series (I CAN'T WAIT FOR CITY OF FALLEN ANGELS!). I also second the Robin McKinley rec. Specifically Beauty and Spindle's End. Darkangel trilogy by Merideth Ann Pierce is old, but really good. Anything by Mercades Lackey is really awesome too.

Kendra, this is accurate. However, it is apparently not as direct of a lift this time.

You can't stalk the willing . . . wait, is that how that phrase goes?
I think I know Chris! Does it start out... "Who are we stalking?"

Wait, Chris, are you meaning the Meatloaf aspect of the name, or the real name?

In refrence to what you're being vague to: Yes, I do believe that is what Peter is telling us, is that is where the name came from. (Which, I too have wondered).

Will this become apparent to me, Mr. J, and Miyabi sometime next month type tradition?
Also, ook, are you avoiding me? *sniffs*
(Disclaimer! Mi'chelle is extremely tired due to not being able to sleep last night. When she gets tired she gets irrational, and a little pysco.)

Yay! I'd love it if you could. Bug chris is my advise, since he's supposed to be coming down.
So, seriously, who all is in/out for picking of brains? I'm just wanting to see for planning purposes.
