		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been thinking a lot about the idea of &#8220;bridges&#8221; since reading this analysis of a prominent New York Times reporter&#8217;s writing on Africa, and his admitted tendency to center his stories on the non-African foreigners (usually Americans) present, rather than the people whom the stories are ostensibly about. Texas in Africa &#8212; correctly, IMO [...]]]></description>

I mentioned this in my previous post about Readercon, but I&#8217;m going to be running the following workshop there (description as submitted to Readercon; I think it&#8217;s been trimmed down for the program book): Farah Mendlesohn&#8217;s Rhetorics of Fantasy [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ll post pics and shout-outs from RT later this week; it was a lot of fun, but I&#8217;m still in the grind on book 3 and now working on copyedits for book 2, so necessarily limiting my blogging time &#8217;til that&#8217;s done. Anyway, Kinneth. I could have &#8212; and did, in an early short story [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I mentioned in passing awhile back that I&#8217;ve been contemplating atheism in the context of the Hundred Thousand Kingdoms. Book 3 currently contains a minor character who describes himself as atheist. When he meets Sieh &#8212; a god &#8212; the following exchange occurs (cutting for length and worldbuilding spoilers for the second and third books): [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the reader complaints I&#8217;ve seen a few times about 100K is frustration with the amount of detail allotted to the barony of Darr, since it&#8217;s one of only a handful of the Hundred Thousand Kingdoms we get to see (beyond Sky, which isn&#8217;t so much a kingdom as a self-incorporated city-state of its [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have to admit that Dekarta fascinates me. He&#8217;s probably the only truly religious character in the whole book, for one thing. This is a world where everyone believes in gods because hello? they&#8217;re right there in your face. (I&#8217;m wrestling with the idea of how an atheist would function in this world right now, [...]]]></description>

He&#8217;s a complicated man, and no one understands him but his &#8212; actually, wait, no, she doesn&#8217;t get him either. Cue the &#8220;Shaft&#8221; theme anyway. RIP Isaac Hayes. And cut for spoilers. So, Nahadoth. He&#8217;s the firstborn of the Three, and the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I decided to jump to this character after reading some recent reviews which noted that Scimina is the most two-dimensional character in The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms. I agree with this characterization wholeheartedly. Cut for spoilers: See, the way I see it &#8212; others&#8217; mileage may vary &#8212; one of the staples of epic fantasy is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Was having a conversation with someone in the publishing industry recently, and it triggered an epiphany for me. Basically, I think The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms became my &#8220;breakout&#8221; novel (i.e., the one that actually got published, as opposed to the ones still sitting in my harddrive) because I stopped caring about what the market wanted.

This will be a series; you&#8217;ll be able to find [...]]]></description>
