not up for speed dating? try speed hating

8 February 2010
Image by Danny Choo. I'm always excited when former Amazon site manager Danny Choo goes to a convention (such as Tokyo's Wonder Festival).

2 February 2010
This caught me by surprise -- and I expected to click on it and read harsh criticism. Why? Maybe because I really wrote this book differently than the rest, or maybe because I need to write *more* books... Or maybe write in more styles that stretch me, make me take […]
