PS Publishing Order ebook from: I am a great fan of the symbolic. A year is a good unit of time: I do my best these days to worry about things I can, loosely speaking, actually control. Or at least influence. Most of those words went toward novels.

I completed a pseudonymous work-for-hire novel in the spring; wrote the entirety of my roleplaying game tie-in City of the Fallen Sky over the summer; completed my new Marla Mason novel Grim Tides this fall; and have written about 50, words of another pseudonymous book this winter though this one is original, not a tie-in or work-for-hire. I also did revisions and copyedits and so on for various novels written previously, including Venom In Her Veins and Briarpatch.

I wrote some short stories which I subsequently sold: I sold other books, too, most notably an anthology called Rags and Bones , co-edited with the marvelous Melissa Marr, which should be in bookstores in I also sold audio rights to my self-published novels Broken Mirrors and Bone Shop to Audible, which is awesome — especially since they commissioned original covers by Daniel Dos Santos!

Also sold a couple of those work-for-hire books. Maybe my best year ever in terms of books sold. I tell you, my career has really taken off ever since it crashed and burned after I got dumped by Random House. I published a few things this year. The big one was my novel Briarpatch , which has been very well-received critically, to my great pleasure. The book means a lot to me. Podcasts have become a huge part of my career, and many of them reach audiences larger than those of the major genre magazines.

The future is an odd and wonderful place. I sold some print reprints, too, though not as many. My fans are the greatest people in the world. I got into self-publishing some more, putting up a bunch of single stories for sale in various e-book formats, mostly. Keep her in mind for your cover designing needs; she rocks. My beloved producer and friend Anne Rodman renewed her option on the Marla Mason series and those wheels are still turning, though Hollywood is a strange and vast place full of dangers, so I expect nothing.

My three-year-old became a four-year-old. Fatherhood continues to be pretty awesome. He got stitches for the first time, after getting a cut over his eye. The kid swam with dolphins! He learned to count to !

He can spell his name! He is generally fantastic. Such a great kid. One of the best parts of my life. My wife started working full-time at A Certain Magazine as a bookkeeper, mostly, though like everyone there, she does various things.

Having her at my workplace is awesome, and our financial terror has gone from constant to intermittent mostly around quarterly tax payment time , which is a nice change. I did a bit of traveling. The opportunity to take the boy to Disneyland, accompanied by our dear friend Jenn, may also have been a factor in our decision to make the trip. Other fun things that involved leaving my house: I sure like video games. I started the year playing a ton of The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion , and the end of the year playing lots of The Elder Scrolls: Portal 2 was also super fun.

I got seriously into making popsicles over the summer. Both boozy popsicles and non-boozy. My chocolate popsicles are awesome. This is not arrogance; this is merely fact. I had some nostalgia for old favorite books this year, and dipped back into some Stephen King and Terry Pratchett favorites.

Lately, my kid has been talking a lot about what he wants to be when he grows up. Which is what I am, despite taking a few knocks along the way. I really am living my dream life. My usual wish at the beginning of a new year is a line from that old Counting Crows song: I have two holiday stories for your holiday listenings! Technically, it is not a Xmas story. I turned 35 today, thus falling out of the coveted demographic age bracket, which means my opinions are no longer of interest. I expect video games, film, and all other media to begin sliding away from my preferences immediately.

My wonderful wife took me out to Pizzaiolo, one of my favorite restaurants, on Friday night, and we feasted and made merry. And I drank bourbon. She made me a cherry pie last night, served with great heaping scoops of vanilla bean ice cream. Carrot cake is okay, but mostly because of the cream cheese frosting. Cake is just… sweet bread. Generally speaking, creamy is my vice, not sweet — fat yay, sugar meh. So, yay for ice cream! Saturday, while my wife and kid went to a party, I neglected fun in favor of work.

I dove back into my half-written novel-in-progress, which stalled utterly while I was on vacation.

It was an intentional stall, but I found it difficult to get back on track. I had, fortunately, figured out my plot while on vacation, though now I have to do some retrofitting to make that plot actually work out. I got to write an attempted murder scene, at least, so that was fun. And soon I get to write about tentacled river monsters. Sunday was more fun. I took the boy out for about five hours in the morning, just wandering around Berkeley, doing some Christmas shopping, going to the playground, eating cinnamon rolls at the coffee shop, eating ice cream cones in the cold wind, and so on.

I love spending time with that little guy. I did some work on the novel, too, figuring out how to hack apart the structure to insert a new section early on. For the rest of the night… I pretty much watched TV and played Skyrim.

And once you understand the motivations of your characters, and the conditions of their situations, the plot pretty much comes automatically. This makes actually writing the book and getting all the weird cool scenes I want vastly easier! A lot of work ahead of me, though. My wife is taking me out for a birthday dinner at Pizzaiolo today.

I turn 35 on Monday. One of my favorite restaurants, with one of my favorite people! Really just a half-day. The kid and I went for breakfast — Heather was still so ill she could barely get out of bed. After that, we returned to the room and worked on packing everything up. River bravely went over to one of the waterfalls, which had terrified him, and found the splashing to be delightful. I got a last tropical drink — lava flow, yum — and we played and had a great time.

We dragged our myriad bags to the lobby, and got the car loaded up, and drove toward the airport. We had some free time before the rental car was due back, so we hit a beachside park. Heather pretty much stayed in the car, still feeling lousy, but River and I roamed around and looked at tidepools and waded in the surf for an hour or so.
