My story of 2009
Not quite ALL about my 2009, because that would take a year to write. This only took several hours.

Taking life support for granted
Pina Chomko: s a story character in my novel-in-progress Cold. She's not like us: she grew up in outer space. Her dream: to take for granted all the life support services that nature provides for free -- just like us.

Biospherics
More on my evolving knowledge about closed ecological life support systems (CELSS) for use in my novels-in-progress projects Long Dark & Cold: biospherics is a handy new term for what it's really all about.

My October reading list
What I'm reading, or at least looking at, in the rundown to NaNoWriMo 2009: space exploration, growing food in space, consensus government, & more. I'll be writing Long Dark, about the people making the long journey between the stars to colonize another solar system.

Despite distance
Chris & Rozz & Jesse & Mel (with Jesse's dog Sweetheart) on a Kenai Peninsula hike in 2006 -- & now, all over the place. But still good friends.

Now I REALLY feel like a writer again
The short story "Cold," which originated with my writing for NaNoWriMo 2007, will be published in the November 2009 issued of Crossed Genres. It's about two young women, Boleyn & Bai, on a planet in the late stages of terraformation.
