What's not for robots? My new site is not for robots! It's for writers.
It's not a blog exactly. I'm not planning on updating it (just perhaps refining it over time); it's really just a place to post a series of essays on writing that I've been working on. Now they're up, and you can read them if -- that's right -- if you're not a robot. (To me, people who write with ease are robots.)
The awesome robot art is by none other than my husband-slash-art monkey, Jim. He has an ease and fluency with drawing robots that is a little suspicious. I mean, I begin to wonder if he might not be a robot himself. Hm. Given my no-robot policy, this would be a problem, so I think I won't investigate the matter further. Don't ask, don't tell -- that's my new robot policy. 'Kay?
If you have any curiosity to peer inside the mind of this screwball writer and learn all the crafty tricks I have to use on myself to keep myself writing, then go HERE. Let me know what you think. . . unless it's mean, in which case, go away!
Cheers!

Thank goodness the robots haven't taken over everything yet.
The site is wonderful, Laini - and I've only gotten through the first 3 posts - I had to stop so I can go do something about dinner - but I'm coming back and feasting on the rest as soon as I can. It's awesome!
Oh - and Jim's robot artwork is very cool!
I am definitely not a robot, either, and so appreciate the fact that you've taken the time to share your writing process. Your new blog is the kind of info. i've been looking for for about two or three years now, so a big THANKS to you!
