Caren Gussoff writer. geek. bon vivant. dot com

A super sweet one line review of my mini space opera in BIG OTHER : “Caren Gussoff offers a fine cyberpunk junket in her story “Correspondence.” ” Thanks, John Madera! I love the word “junket.”

I’ve been having a lot of fun lately guest blogging for Jeff VanderMeer while he is on tour. It’s especially cool because the other guest bloggers are so brilliant that they make me seem much smarter just by posting near them.

Also, in odd news, I’ve become one of the Seattle Literary Scene Examiners for Examiner.com. Kind of a random and strange little gig, but becoming pretty awesome. I’m keeping up with this stuff because it’s uh, my life, so I may as well grow some discipline and write about it. I can see wicked potential to pimp my friends and loved ones in here (because you people do such really cool things, anyway). I’m planning on spotlighting Seattle writers and editors weekly, so drop me a line if you are interested in being featured (caren at spitkitten dot com).

If you live in Seattle and are not attending the Tuesday night Clarion West reading series, you are out of your piehole. Karen Joy Fowler’s reading last night was awesome. Next Tuesday, 7pm, University Bookstore = Elizabeth Bear.
Also: I am working hard. Tonight, there will be no writing. There will be no reading, no laundry, no working on the porchstead, no returned phone calls or emails, not even a shower. I am going to eat 1/2 a pint of chocolate ice cream, lie on the comfy futon, stare at the TV, pat the cats, then pass out gloriously/blissfully, disgustingly early.
I’ll do all that useful stuff Friday, during the day (I have the day off!), before the CW party for KJF.
