Woot! My short science fiction story "Behind the Rules" has been re-published as a podcast at Escape Pod. You can download it for free as an .mp3 or else listen to it online. It's about 20 minutes long, it's one of my darkest short stories, and it's also one of the ones I'm most proud of. Check it out here, and let me know what you think!

Today's been a good day for other reasons, too. I wrote another 750 words of Chapter 12 this morning and really enjoyed them. Now that I'm actually letting the plot go in the right direction, writing is feeling a lot more like play and less like work. And Patrick has just uploaded his new website, which is very cool.

Now Patrick's making me banana muffins, so the day is getting even better. Happy Friday, everybody!
