		<title>Nebulas ballot</title>
		<description><![CDATA[SFWA just released the final ballot for the 2009 Nebula Awards, and there is an enormous amount of good fiction on it. I was lucky enough to get to copyedit three of the nominees this year: two of the novels (China Mi&#233;ville&#8217;s The City &#038; The City and Cherie Priest&#8217;s Boneshaker) and a novelette (Paolo [...]]]></description>

		<title>Science fiction Valentine from my son to me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So Evan, who just turned seven, asked me the other night if I would be his Valentine, and tonight he made me a creation from Legos that he says is his Valentine&#8217;s Day present to me. 
I asked Evan to tell me about his creation, and this is what he said:
He&#8217;s, like, a ground-cave type, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Super Bowl 44</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I really don&#8217;t watch sports, but I have been glancing over at the Super Bowl now and then. I have to say, and this is my only comment on it, that from a copyeditor&#8217;s perspective, that commercial with Chevy Chase and the &#8220;It&#8217;s complementary with an &#8216;e&#8217;; it&#8217;s not free&#8221; line is absolutely freaking [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Anthology of Dark Wisdom and the Stoker</title>
		<description><![CDATA[William Jones, the editor of The Anthology of Dark Wisdom, in which my first story, &#8220;The Robidermist&#8217;s Steed,&#8221; appears, has posted that the anthology has been recommended for a Bram Stoker Award. He notes that a recommendation does not mean the anthology has a full nomination yet, but it is still exciting news. I&#8217;m keeping [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you haven&#8217;t seen already, the Nebula Awards Weekend will be in Cocoa Beach, May 13-16, scheduled over a shuttle launch weekend. The hotel is actually only twenty minutes from my home, so I&#8217;ve been helping SFWA with some of the planning.

		<title>Healthy Dietary Habits</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We’re coming to the end of January, and a lot of my friends have made resolutions to lose weight in the coming year. I had started a blog post a long while ago about how to maintain a healthy weight, but I never put it up for a variety of reasons, primarily because I’m not [...]]]></description>

		<title>Author thanks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just got a thank-you note from Matt Sturges for the copyediting I did on his wonderful book Office of Shadow, forthcoming from Pyr, and thought I&#8217;d share:

		<title>Dramatic readings of Atlanta Nights</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Do any of you remember Atlanta Nights, the intentionally awful book written by a group of SF/F pros to prove that PublishAmerica would accept anything?
Some wonderful soul has done a complete dramatic reading of it, with each chapter posted to YouTube. Go listen to my so-horrid-it&#8217;s-hilarious chapter, and be sure to browse through Manwithoutabody&#8217;s channel [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Paul Goat Allen has released his list of the best science fiction and fantasy novels of 2009, which you should all check out. I had the pleasure of copyediting two of the books on the list&#8211;Cherie Priest&#8217;s Boneshaker and Ken Scholes&#8217; Canticle. I loved them both.
