Jan. 16th, 2009 03:13 pmToday in 1901, poet Laura Riding was born. She was involved romantically for many years with poet Robert Graves, but when they split for good in 1939, she renounced poetry. Gee whiz, why was it poetry's fault?
David B Coe (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
davidbcoe) has a new book coming out on the 20th. Yep, that's right, a new book and a new president - what a nice day Tuesday will be! Anyway, Joshua Palmatier (jpsorrow), author of the Throne of Amenkor series, is featuring a great interview with David today, so check it out. And when you're done there, drop over to Magical Words. We had a special guest today - Jia Gayles of the Knight Agency, talking about writers marketing and promoting themselves.
The Beetle is leaving this afternoon to spend the weekend camping with his Scout troop. Yes, sleeping in tents outside. When the lows tonight and tomorrow night will be in the lower teens. I know it'll be okay - he's got thermals, gloves, a toboggan, wool socks and hand and foot warmers, and his sleeping bag is rated to -20. Not to mention they'll have a big campfire going. He'll be fine, I know. I still won't sleep well until he's home again.
It's pretty darned funny that this toy, the Playmobil Security CheckPoint, even exists. But then I read the reviews, and I'm nearly falling off my chair!
