BRB, NaNoWriMo. PS, I'm in Asimov's!

FROM THE DESK OF E. KRISTIN ANDERSON:

Hi guys.  I'm very busy writing the worst first draft in the history of first drafts. (Okay, it might be better than, you know, something, but I'm not holding my breath.) I'm about a week behind (rough estimate, no time to do the math, here, folks!) and staving off the sort of desperation that NaNoWriMo can push a writer into.  You know, like recycling old X-Files plots or transcribing overheard conversations directly into the manuscript.  (The latter would be easier if I wasn't working mostly at Starbucks -- I can't figure out half of the drink menu let alone repeat it.)


However, just in case for some reason you were thinking to yourself, "Gee, I wish there was something new from E. Kristin Anderson to read," THERE IS!

I have a poem in the newest issue of Asimov's Science Fiction, which, holy crap, is, like, whoa.  Asimov's is one of the most widely circulated science fiction magazines.  And I can actually tell you to go look for this one at your local book store -- most of them should have it!  The issue I'm in is the January, 2014 issue.  It looks like this:


I'll try and get back to reviews and whatnot soon.  In the mean time, I hope YOUR NaNoWriMos are going well.  And here's a Firefly Gif, for good measure:
