Water Dragon Publishing has announced the upcoming publication of a new story by me!
We are excited to announce that we have signed an agreement with author Philip Brewer to publish his story, “A Classic Beginner’s Mistake”, as part of our Dragon Gems short fiction program.

I’ve always been jealous of the sort of successful writer who can afford to design and build their optimal space for writing. But I’ve also read critiques of the idea: A real writer can write anywhere.
So I’m glad to see Cal Newport pointing out that “can write” might be true, and yet fall short:
“Putting professors into stark and spacious modern offices is functional. But is it as conducive to deep thought as the fire-warmed study of the Oxford Don?”
Beer! @author_sdbrewer! Soon: food!
Ready to sell books! @limako is wrapping bundles of his Revin’s Heart books that are out so far.
This photo scarcely shows it, but the dealer room goes on and on. The Water Dragon table is out of sight in the distance, kinda at the left.
I feel so welcome!
I’m checked into my room at the Hyatt. Now waiting for @limako with a beer (and a very expensive Cuban sandwich on the way).
Looks like I’ll be facing backward all the way to Chicago. Nearly on-time, though.
On my way to WorldCon! I’ve made it as far as Champaign’s Illinois Terminal.
A submission I made yesterday required a synopsis. I didn’t have one, and a quickly scribbled one starkly revealed all that was flawed with the story. Clearly I should write a synopsis as soon as I know shape of a story, and use the insight produced to improve the story.
