Watching Mulan with youngest. The idea of my young daughter risking death in my place seems terrible. She’s young and has her whole life ahead of her. I’ve lived mine and seen her grow into a lovely young woman. Isn’t my going off to fight for my country the best choice for everyone?

I have enough Battletech decals remaining for: 5th Sword of Light, 8th Sword of Light, Davion Guards, Arcturan Guards, Lyran Guards, and Lone Wolves mercenaries. Among these choices, which units are the most popular and will eBay the best?

It's really hard to remember a side character's appearance details from a book you wrote years ago.

Worldbuilding your own world is fun. Helping other people worldbuild is fun. It's just cool creative work all the way down past the elephants and the turtle.

This is a really interesting idea.
My American brothers and sisters, I’m curious… Would any of you be interested in exploring Japan with me when you visit? I put together a little example of what it could look like. What do you think? I’d love to hear your honest opinions and suggestions! Let me know what you think!

Over 40k words on the current WIP (book 4). I'm assuming that's over halfway.

I think I've recorded the last of my audio for Dig. I'm not really a voice talent kind of person, but they seem happy with what I did. That was fun. youtube.com/watch?v=uSbgk0Hx…

... and now I have another event I want to go to, halfway round the planet ...
今日はオタク友達が合戦に出るというので応援しにきたんですが、想像の5億倍くらい合戦していて感動しています。

We watched Iron Giant and Muppet Treasure island in one weekend a little while ago. Good stuff.

I'm putting a dog and a horse in the next book and nobody can stop me.

Look, I have important stuff to remember about tanks from the Second World War. There’s no way I’m going to remember the names of different kinds of shoes.

The eldest is using the 3d printer to make himself ODST armor for Halloween. I think maybe I'm doing some parenting stuff correctly.
