• 10:22 @StevenBrust come early! #theworldrevolvesaroundyou #
• 10:22 @tony_a_rogers I am and it does. #
• 10:38 It's the 1 hour AMERICAN GODS#1b1t Q&A in 20 mins. I'll reply directly, but use the #1b1tNG to ask me questions and follow answers... #
• 10:44 @gracemonk Only if they've also been shortcutting safety measures, surely. Otherwise I think criticism in this case is very fair. #
• 10:58 A little GRAVEYARD BOOK movie news: bit.ly/dhhFZZ #
• 11:00 @chrishainey you are not alone #1b1t_10C #1b1tNG #
• 11:02 @jadomingos I believe that the film/TV rights are being bought as we speak, but do not know much more than that. Hope it's good. #1b1tNG #
• 11:03 @TheNateLive anyone big and not-quite-white looking who can act #1b1tng #
• 11:06 @poodlemaster hard. I read a lot of slave narratives, & every one of them broke my heart. Research listed at bit.ly/b5rbFN #1b1tNG #
• 11:07 @TeawithGodzilla yup. #1b1tNG #
• 11:07 @notscarysteve it certainly looks that way #1b1tNG #
• 11:07 @tsamconnell I'd love to write more SHADOW stories, yes. #1b1tNG #
• 11:08 @psibreaker I'd always assumed so, although some listeners miss it. But I expect so. #1b1tNG #
• 11:09 @lhops I'd be lazy and absent minded. People would start noticing all the mornin gs the sun didn't rose, or rose wrong. #1b1tNG #
• 11:10 @lindsayglick we do if we read carefully (& I spell it out in the short story MONARCH OF THE GLEN) #1b1tNG #
• 11:11 @lindsayglick perhaps because naming something identifies it, and allows you to communicate about it. Names have power. #1b1tNG #
• 11:14 @thurisaz83 I sometimes wonder whether Shadow ever noticed that he'd done that #1b1tNG #
• 11:15 @Dakota3766 sure. He'd be great. People underestimate Shadow. #1b1t NG #
• 11:16 @davidmbarnett If you have a prop onstage at the very start of a magic trick people pay less attention to it #1b1tNG #
• 11:17 @palecurve writers steal from everywhere. Wednesday's smile was stolen from an odd conversation I had with Rip Torn #1b1tng #
• 11:19 @bartrabelo So many. But books have finite words & pages. Was sad the Japanese section and the Jewish section were both not-written #1b1tNG #
• 11:19 @sankho I think his acne has probably cleared up by now #1b 1tNG #
• 11:20 @Diazorn201 because Odin was not Wednesday, although Wednesday was Odin #1b1t #1b1tNG #
• 11:21 @T_Lawson I've been asked a few times. It would be so huge an undertaking, though... #1b1tNG #
• 11:22 @vivelagiselle Very odd. I'd been awake for 48 hours, and was in Iceland looking at a tourist diorama, & it all fell into place #1b1tNG #
• 11:22 @hhdavid65 about 35 years #1b1tNG #
• 11:22< /em> @Kendelbee there really is, isn't there? #1b1tNG #
• 11:24 @palecurve No-one's ever asked. I used to work with gaming companies & then they would go out of business. So, guiltily, I stopped. #1b1tNG #
• 11:25 @slaphappybunny 10 years ago they were baffled. Now they are thrilled bit.ly/cXXtQd #1b1tNG #
• 11:26 @The_Kindly_One I was sending it out to friends as I was writing it, in chunks, so I do not know... #1b1tNG #
• 11:27 @The_Kindly_One My ex-wife may have been the first to read it all through. She wished I'd annotated the gods #1b1tNG #
• 11:27 @ayayae how do you mean? #1b1tNG #
• 11:29 @JedediahBaker not really.It's a very old idea, going back thru 40s UNKNOWN to writers like R Garnett ("Twilight of the Gods 1888) #1b1tNG #
• 11:30 @Kendelbee what makes you think I had a choice? #1b1tNG #
• 11:30 @palecurve none that fit into 140 characters #1b1tNG #
• 11:33 @notscarysteve Swedes here are called rutabagas. They use them, carrots and turnips in UP pasties: bit.ly/cCVYkc #1b1tNG #
• 11:33 @MaryGaughan yup #1b1tNG #
• 11:34 @emilyjaneross Yggdrasil or the moon or a liberty head 1922 silver dollar #1b1tNG #
• 11:34 @nerdella I'm so glad. #1b1tNG #
• 11:35 @edanacooks It's hard to say with Roger's work. I wanted to write a book he would have lked, if he were still with us #1b1tNG #
• 11:37 @MaryGaughan I went for a morning a few years ago (and wrote a story about it). For Odd, no. I'd have to visit 1200 years ago. #1b1tNG #
• 11:37 @magnushimself that is the question, isn't it? #1b1tNG #
• 11:40 @emwalker Their motivation? They were a) gay & b) wanted each other & c) were far from home #1b1tng #1b1t_c7 #
• 11:41 @ayayae you mean what insp ired me most before I wrote AMERICAN GODS? Or what inspired me to write it? #1b1tNG #
• 11:42 @pkmntrainerAsh loved writing Czernobog. Didn't really have a least favourite. #1b1tNG #
• 11:42 @IAmKatyLees not that I know of. #1b1tNG #
• 11:42 @Kendelbee Laura. #1b1tNG #
• 11:44 @vibrotronica I kept driving past it. It seemed exactly what I was writing about, and rapidly became inevitable #1b1tNG #
• 11:44 @palecurve i think everything I write expands my fanbase, except for the people who don't like things. Then it shrinks it. #1b1tNG #
• 11:48 @Tishalulle1 because he thinks they make him look good, and his fashion sense is not up-to-date #1b1tng #
• 11:48 @Benjclyde they all link up around the back, I think #1b1tNG #
• 11:49 @ayayae got it. mostly, living in America for 7 years, and wondering why no-one wrote about the place I was seeing #1b1tNG #
• 11:50 @poxmedia why should they be the same? #1b1tNG #
• 11:51 @rare_josiah He's pretty much the same, but that's because I borrowed him from the unwritten ANANSI BOYS for AMERICAN GODS #1b1tNG #
• 11:54 For @MeghanMacKrous & anyone else interested, there's a good but incomplete bibliography for American Gods at bit.ly/b5rbFN #1b1tNG #
• 11:55 @redjayyy The Doctor is still out there whether you believe in him or not #1b1tNG #
• 11:55 @Kendelbee bit of both #1b1tNG #
• 11:56 @vagabondguitar that is SO not a #1b1tNG question. But yes, sometimes. CLAN APIS is my favourite bee book so far. #
• 11:57 @Ikchen I don't know #1b1tNG #
• 11:58 @Crowdsourcing mostly puzzlement that I hadn't really seen it in fiction, and the urge to describe what I saw #1b1tNG #
• 12:02 @Daggerstone I was picking from the creatures on the Carousel, and that one looked right #1b1tNG #
• 12:03 @Antiqueight There's always bit.ly/c9wy91 #1b1tNG #1b1tNG #
• 12:03 @hasanbinali Bilquis is biblical #1b1tNG #
• 12:04 @rare_josiah I don't think so, but the life-cycles of sun-gods are very similar #1b1tNG #
• 12:04 @Budjette I love that one #1b1tNG #
• 12:05 There. An hour of typing #1b1tNG answers and I am done. I suspect the next of these will be when everyone has finished the book. #1b1t #
• 12:30 @Antiqueight I've been talking with @freakshowdoc about doing something like that... #
• 12:32 @MrsTmama I don't think you did anything wrong, but I didn't see them on tweetdeck. #
• 12:32 @Pami_Therese we'll do another one. #
• 12:46 @AmnaSalmanx @nadirshehzad I think you are both very funny. #
• 13:16 Fans of Sam and her "I believe" speech in AMERICAN GODS might like to know that @neverwear makes the t-shirt bit.ly/d2oGr9 #1b1t #
• 13:17 @emwalker my motivation for writing the scene? Usual author motivation; describing what happened next in the story. #1b1tNG #
• 13:21 Looks like I just did a #neilwebfail on the @Neverwear website. Sorry. Keep an eye on bit.ly/82ODiW to see when it recovers... #
• 15:22 @goddimus I don't mind as long as it's not commercial and says where it comes from... #
• 15:23 @Embodiment_USA And you got your goal! Well done! #
• 15:36 The trailer for Lifeline Theatre's current production of NEVERWHERE in Chicago, about which I hear good things: youtu.be/Ks3slZx88hg #
• 15:41 And it's been a year since @scottbradlee posted his ragtime covers of 80s hits. Here's the studio audio version: youtu.be/sVeeHwE2coQ #
• 16:31 @CatJeffcoat I am not there... #
• 17:18 I am probably the last person in the world to notice that the Museum of Curiosity has its own blog. bit.ly/ZP1WF #
< li>19:02 In the KNOW Public Radio studio St Paul waiting to record 5 minutes on STORIES for All Things Considered. Headphones are on... #
• 19:07 Me waiting at KNOW. Probably the beard dies tonight. twitpic.com/1rxw7n #
• 20:23 @amandapalmer oh. Well that changes everything. #
• 20:25 @amandapalmer oh good. I was worried you were still on the ground. #
• 20:37 @EversonMarsh you must ask him. #
• < em>20:39 @patifimbrethil if 6 weeks ago is recent. #
• 20:42 Just informed by @amandapalmer twittering on a plane that she likes the beard. It's like a last-minute reprieve phonecall from the governor. #
• 21:16 @ManMadeMoon that's hilarious Duncan. Okay. Temporary beard reprieve. For you & @amandapalmer. #
• 21:31 @neverwear someone earlier today suggested Todd Klein be let loose on it. #
• 21:33 @thejillthompson so maybe it won't die tonight. Unless Amanda dec ides it's scratchy. #
• 21:44 Waiting in baggageclaim for @amandapalmer. Once she lands I'm offline. Schrodinger's beard, there but not there. twitpic.com/1rz79u #
• 01:02 So, for the curious, @amandapalmer landed safely. We got sushi. I stopped feeling tired. Over and out. twitpic.com/1s12z5 #
