This isn't the post I had written for today.  Luna, my friend and fellow Wordslinger (@lunalindsey on Twitter) tweeted some statements about characters who don't use guns.  I wrote a very long and decent rebuttal, arguing that characters that don't use guns under any circumstances are weaker, immoral and less interesting.

I just lost that post when my computer blue screened.  Lesson learned. Write posts in gmail, then paste them over.  Grr.

On the other hand, I sent off my Clarion West application. I probably won't hear back until March and the competition-always fierce- will be greater this year because George R R Martin is teach one of the weeks.  I don't know if my story submissions will make the cut or not but I had to try.

Wish me luck. Oh, and buy a Mac...apparently.  Stupid Dells...grumble, grumble
