It’s time for WorldCon! Helsinki bid FTW!
Watch Twitter – @mightymur – if you want to do a meetup at WorldCon! Once I get a lay of the land, I’ll set something up.
We talk on the show about depression and other mental illnesses that damage your health, life, and your writing quality and productivity. I encourage everyone to get help if you think you need it, but I am painfully aware that I’m very lucky that I have health insurance that pays for my doctor and my antidepressants. What do you do if you don’t have that?
Lifehacker recently had a list of how to find someone to talk to when you can’t afford a therapist, and I thought it was so useful that I wanted to guide people there. Please, if you need help, it’s there if you can look for it.

I got to remember that one opinion is just that. One. Someone else may have another opinion on your work.

I recorded a bunch of podcasts in the past weeks and am only now getting them posted. I apologize for that.
But we get half the feedback taken care of today!
It’s one of my favorite times of the year again: WorldCon time! I’m heading out to San Antonio next Wednesday and am leaving on Monday. I’m posting my schedule below. It’s pretty light this year, but if you don’t catch me on a panel, be assured you can likely find me at the bar most nights. I may also set up an ISBW meetup – also, Magic Spreadsheet creator Tony Pisculli will be there, so anyone who wants to meet the mind behind the spreadsheet, he’ll be around!
I have no kaffeklatch, so if you’re interested in an ISBW meetup, let me know.
I just found out that The Shambling Guide to New York City will be the io9 book club pick for September! I’m utterly thrilled about this, and if you haven’t gotten your copy yet, I encourage you to support my local indie book store, Chapel Hill Comics and get a signed copy!
The hero of Mur Lafferty’s Shambling Guide to New York doesn’t wear tight pants, tote a crossbow, or have the most special power ever. She doesn’t fall in love with any magical creatures, or have everybody smitten with her. She’s just a travel book editor trying to finish her supernatural guidebook on time, and we love her.
And the first person who can work in “counterpoint the surrealism of the underlying metaphor” into the discussion – seamlessly – will win an ARC of The Ghost Train to New Orleans…
“…counterpoint the surrealism of the underlying metaphor…” Hm-hm. Death’s too good for them. ~ Vogon Captain, HHGG radio scripts Ep 2

I bring you magic spreadsheet thoughts and a live from Stonecoast interview with Tony Pisculli, creator of the magic spreadsheet.

I have worked with my local awesomesauce indie book/comic store, Chapel Hill Comics, to provide signed copies of my books to anyone who wants to purchase online. So if you don’t see yourself hitting any of the cons I’m attending (and there are only two left this year), this is the best way to get a signed copy.
Here is the link to the page, and thanks for supporting one of my favorite stores ever!
