I have to say it. I didn't get weddings before now. I mean, I love weddings, and they're wonderful, and I love being around friends and family. But I fundamentally didn't get what weddings are for until I had one. See, I've been married before, but I'd never had a wedding. I had a divorce before ...

So, it came to my attention through the wonderful maryrobinette last night that Fairyland is eligible for the Andre Norton Award. For those of you who don't know, the Andre Norton award is associated with the Nebulas and announced and voted on at the same time, but honors YA work. I had no ...

Exchange reported to us over the phone on this fine sunny autumn day: Nika ( justbeast 's 6-year-old niece): Do Cat and Dima have any children? Her mother: No, they're not planning to have any soon. Nika: ...so did they just get married for sex?

I was going to friends-lock this, but decided against it. So here it is for all to read. The thing is, I don't really believe in friends-locking. The whole point of a blog, for me, is to live openly, declaratively. I find that a tremendously valuable thing for my personal development, to try ...

I'm doing that thing where I feel like I can't post about anything until I post about the wedding, and the rest of the honeymoon. But I am also physically pretty messed up right now. I understand that my body needs recovery, which is possibly why I'm sleeping way more than usual, but I'm also ...

It's that time of year, when red velvet and white fluff are in season, when pine and mistletoe scent the air, when sleighbells jangle in the distance...and Nebula nominations open. Now, I've never been nominated for a Nebula. I've rarely even been suggested for one. But I thought I'd list the ...

Here I am, with a hundred things to post about, the rest of St. Petersburg and the wedding and a new book...and I'm playing Mortal Kombat vs. DC and staying up while everyone else is in bed. I guess I'm having a bit of wedding withdrawal. For awhile there was so much to do that it could never ...

One, I'm reading at the IAF Interfictions 2 reading tomorrow, 7:30 pm at The Lily Pad in Cambridge, MA. You all are coming, right? Because there's musical accompaniment and possibly an accordion. And Brian Francis Slattery (ZOMG.) Also my last trip to Boston for awhile as I burrow, sick of ...

The final chapter of Fairyland is up. Chapter XXII: Ravished Means You Cannot Stay A mother cannot see every little thing, and glad we may be that she could not, as it would have caused a great deal of trouble September would never have been able to explain. In the following weeks, we will ...

Was awakened at 2 and cannot get back to sleep. Everything is very silent in our room, and my stomach is empty. How I wish the streetside blini stands were 24 hours. Oh my god, streetside blini. One of the thoughts I kept turning around in my head today was about fantasy literature and ...

Today was intense on many levels. We walked over what seems like it must be the entire city but in reality was only about 1/5 of it. St. Petersburg is not like other European cities. It has enormous, wide streets that put California to shame, blocks that go on forever, with oddly repeating ...

I've been sitting on this news for a really long time, and while I am recuperating from a day of walking all over Not!Leningrad, which is NOT LIKE EUROPE in that it is absurdly enormous, with gargantuan streets and map scales that mock mortal feet, I finally get to announce ...

Well, that's it. One night in St. Petersburg and I'm a little in love. Trying to squeeze the most out of our reduced time here, we immediately set off walking through the city, stopping to eat pelmeni and my first borscht, as well as coffee and rum and hot wine as the cold got to us. It's only ...

Who's in Saint Petersburg? WE ARE, BABY! Everything went smoothly, we got our luggage, are ensconced in our hotel, not even three blocks from the street where I put Marya Morevna's house in Deathless. We are gonna make these next days count . So many, many thanks to all of you. See icon like ...

The events of the past two days have been embarrassing and heartbreaking--but also humbling and heart-lifting. You guys are amazing. The power of the internet for good is astonishing. I had no idea I knew so many people in Germany. A hundred times thank you for all your support, for ...

Having some free time on our hands, the penultimate Fairyland chapter is up. Chapter XXI: Did You See Her? Donations are, as always, appreciated, and especially so right now. I don't feel comfortable putting up a tip jar, but Fairyland has always run on the donation model, so if you feel ...

I guess you can't have a wedding go as amazingly well as ours did and not pay some kind of cosmic price. We are currently stranded in Frankfurt, Germany. When we booked the honeymoon to Russia with Expedia, we were told that we did not need visas. Did this seem odd to us? Yes. So we called and ...

I wrote this yesterday but didn't finish--I still want to post it the night before my wedding, thinking still about all this, while so many people I love are here. *** It's very early in the morning on Friday, the first day of wedding celebrations. I can't sleep. I'm not really nervous, it's ...
