Gen Con 2024 Day 002
Day Two of Gen Con 2024 — Woke at 4:50 am again. Looks like this is a trend. Got a letter written to my son and bride again. Tried to creep in to fry some eggs and sausage but turns out my housemates are sleeping at that time of evening. Morning. Whatever they call it.…

Gen Con 2024 Day 001
Just landed in Indy for Gen Con 2024 and can I say that Indianapolis’s airport always feels very Exit Through the Giftshop to me? I love having a post/pre security section to chill if there’s some wait time involved. But this time did remind me of the Banksy piece. And a slew of other things.…

Weeping Angel statue at Greenwood Cemetery
I snagged this weeping angel while I was at Greenwood Cemetery. As you know, I spent a ton of time there writing The Greenwood Poet:

I’ve gotten some bad Starbucks names over the years but…
I’ve gotten bad Starbucks names over the years, but this one takes the cake. I’ve heard them ask, “What’s your name?” “Lancelot.” “You’re welcome, but what’s your name?” Happens often.

Bushwick Savings Bank
Snagged a shot of the Bushwick Savings Bank when we were up there helping a friend move. It feels to me as if it could be from anywhere in the country, really.

When to write violence or sex? Re: Brandon Sanderson
Hope this comes off with the curious, reflective spirit in which it’s intended. You can never tell on the internet, but I wanted to respond to something Brandon Sanderson (whom I respect) said about violence and sex depicted in media. I wanted to respond to the 36:52 section of ep.11 of Intentionally Blank: I’ll admit,…

John Vorhaus interview
Lancelot Schaubert — What was the impetus behind this book, John Vorhaus? John Vorhaus — In my professional life I have two classes of clients. One is, broadly speaking, writers and other creative types. The other is, unexpectedly, people trying to get into to business schools like HBS and the Stanford Graduate School of Business. I noted…

Of the Making of Books there Is No End?
I grew up in a fairly conservative religious community that abhorred study and praised ignorance, in a way. From this assumption folks would often quote in my general direction of the making of books there is no end. They believed along what Asimov said of many Americans: that my ignorance is as good as anyone…
