I’m going to take a page from John Scalzi’s book (or rather, site), and try to do a “Thanksgiving Advent,” where I post each day about something I’m thankful for.

Given that I just came back from World Fantasy, it seems appropriate to start with my job. It has its downsides, but at the end of the day (which is usually when I go to work…) — man, I get paid to make stuff up. And not just any stuff, but fantasy worlds packed as full of wonder as I can make them.

That’s pretty goddamned amazing, that is, and I hope never to lose sight of that fact.
