This comment from a daily_kos post about the Yearly Kos convention in Chicago just amused the heck out of me:

Next year I'm bringing my slingshot. Anyone who stands up to ask a question but instead makes a bunch of preliminary comments and then bundles four questions into one will get a Milk Dud in the back of the head. This also applies to anyone who fails to turn off their cellphone.

They're at every con, regardless of genre/subject matter. They are ubiquitous. Across the Universe. They will not be absorbed. They are the bane of moderators everywhere.

I haven't had my ENDGAME galleys for very long. Couple of weeks.

They're already for sale at AbeBooks. And for a hell of a lot less than on Amazon.

The writing life

At this point, I'm used to people asking me, sometimes jokingly and sometimes not so, when the books will be made into a movie.

I'm just not used to them asking me in the middle of the company credit union, over the lunch hour, in a loud voice, when the place is busy and all the tellers are listening.

Not so gallant me, I'm afraid. I said "I don't even know how to answer that question."
