I write a column for Jim Baen’s Universe called “Notes From the Buffer Zone,” and the latest went up earlier this month. I somehow missed it. Also, the first in a series of related fantasy stories makes its appearance in the August JBU. “The Blitz Experience” is the first of four (which you can read separately) that will appear in JBU before the magazine goes […]
Asimov’s Reader’s Choice Award
I couldn’t make it to Worldcon this year, so Asimov’s kindly sent my award this month. Here I am, showing it off in my office, the uninterested Sir Galahad of Kitten behind me. Such fun! Thanks to everyone who voted for “The Room of Lost Souls.” Much appreciated!
Freelancer’s Survival Guide: Patience
Artwork donated by Pati Nagle. The Freelancer’s Survival Guide: Patience Kristine Kathryn Rusch Full disclosure time: I have no patience. Or very little patience.

I’m still behind on my posting. This should be July, but I haven’t finished preparing it for uploading. I hoped to have June up a month ago. Ah well. Here’s what I wrote at the end of June: Another strangely busy month, but I got a lot more reading done—and it was good reading. Some months it hasn’t been. In fact, as a reading month, […]

Freelancer’s Survival Guide: Deadlines
Artwork donated by Pati Nagle. The Freelancer’s Survival Guide: Deadlines Kristine Kathryn Rusch Here’s the problem with waiting until the last minute to do something: the day arrives and it is the worst possible day to do that thing. Take today, for example. I have a migraine, I didn’t sleep much, it’s the hottest day of the year so far, and we’re still moving. In […]
Mind Meld on Social Media
John DeNardo asked me to participate in his MindMeld column. This one’s on social media, and it has a lot of interesting folks making interesting points. The specific question is how will social networking change publishing? We all grabbed our crystal balls and tried to answer. Now I’ll use my social networking connections to let you all know about it. LOL! Check it out here.
