snurriCheck it out: I'm the Big Idea over at the Whatever! This one was fun to write. One thing that's interesting about all the interviews and publicity is that in a way it's forced me to think about the book in ways I didn't while I was writing it. Next time I'm going to do a first draft, then do the publicity, and revise accordingly. YES I AM A GENIUS.
Since this is already a book post, some more mentions out there in the Intrawebs: specifically Dreamwatch Total SciFi and BlogCritics.org. And check out these banner ads at Boldtype! I hadn't even seen those before. They're all cascade-y.
In NON-BOOK news, I just found out that Xcel Energy is imploding the smokestack near the High Bridge tomorrow; that would be the real-life counterpart of this. Crazy. In my lifetime I've walked, biked and driven past that thing thousands of times, crossing that bridge. I'm going to go down there tomorrow morning--they're saying it'll happen around 7:30 AM--to see it fall and to start getting used to the weird gap in the sky. Anybody else getting up early on a Saturday morning to watch something fall down and probably get a snootful of dust? Yeah. Thought not.
