I’ve been in this organizing-my-lifebox kind of mood lately. Rooting around in the basement. Maybe I'm getting ready to write a memoir. As part of the process, I ended up putting together a unified writing notes page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And I put four new sets of writing notes up while I was at it. I extracted notes<\/a> for The Hacker and the Ants<\/i><\/a> from my fairly harrowing journals of the early 1990s.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I found some notes<\/a> for Freeware<\/i><\/a> as well; I’d forgotten I had these notes kicking around.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And, yes, I posted the notes<\/a> for Realware<\/i><\/a> as well. I wish I could get the WAREs out in new editions, I think they're slipping out of print.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And, hottest news of all, I decided to post the notes<\/a> for Mathematicians in Love<\/i>, scheduled from Tor in 2006. Why post them now? To build up advance interest in the book. And, hey, they're ready to post now, so why not.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So that's about 212,000 new words of mine online.<\/p>\n
