Hal Duncan, writer

OK, just like the last post, I assume if you're reading this blog, you've heard of Hal Duncan. Heck, he's in the current issue of the zine. His story, "The Chiaroscurist," is even available for free online. He has a new book, Vellum that's already available in the UK, but will be coming out April 25 in the US from Del Rey. The book is amazing. I won't be surprised to see it up for Best Novel at World Fantasy this year. (no pressure Hal)

So, just like Anna has a lot of brilliant things to say about publishing, Hal does the same for writing. He has a recent post where he talks about 10 things he's learned from writing. Among the humor and wit, there are some good things in there that Hal has to offer about writing.

Most recently, Hal offers up a touching lament of the writer who knows books from the publisher are in the mail, but the mail is slower than he'd like.
