Happy New Year! The blog post glitched!

Well, of course I goofed setting up the timer on releasing the blog post, but my series on "How to diet without dieting, or reflections on how food, diet, and dieting can affect writing" goes up at Book View Cafe's blog. As soon as I finish writing this promo.

This is not about writing per se -- it's about my belief that a disease changed the expression of genes, and changed my diet so radically that I lost my higher functioning abilities and ability to write fiction. Finally identifying it is speeding my recovery, and has me hoping I can sell new work and find a job soon.

So...if you have never been able to put your finger on what makes your diet fail you, you might take a look at my proposal, and see if it either sparks a response in you, or gives you other ideas to follow up. Just don't give up.

Stand back! I'm going to try Science!

Boycotting SyFy, hummm.....

The Star Gate: Universe people are starting a boycott. It's a PITA when they cancel something you enjoy. My problem is finding something I liked that disappears. I enjoy Eureka, Warehouse 13, Sanctuary and Haven, among SyFy's offerings. But I have to chase them around, since there is no season anymore, not really. Never got into the StarGate Universe, although the movie was lots of fun. It arrived during a complicated part of my life -- and life stays complicated....

Who you need on your side are the people watching against ST:U, who are Nielsen people. That will have impact. Or convince the advertisers there are enough of you to make it worth their request for more show. That would be my guess....
