Because of your support, Kylar Stern has made it to Round 5 of Suvudu’s Cage Match, defeating Erevis Cale in battle last week (go HERE for details). Now he’s facing Terry Pratchett’s amazing Granny Weatherwax. It’s up to you if you want Kylar to advance to the next face-off!
Go HERE to vote.
Plus, a new poll is posted at right!
Sadly, I wasn’t able to write this week’s Cage Match because I have one week to turn in my copyedits for The Blinding Knife. However, Suvudu wrote up the fight between Kylar Stern and Lev Grossman’s Julia. Check it out HERE and vote for who you think would win!
(Also, a new poll is up!)

First, the good news: Kylar Stern won Round 1 of the Cage Match! Sorry, Gimli.
Thank you to all you fans who voted.
Now for the even better news: Kylar’s next fight will be against Harry Potter.
That’s right folks: the Boy Who Lived will face off with The Boy Who Kills. And I’m writing up the conflict like never seen before. It goes live this Monday, March 12, HERE. Apparently, Hermione is laying down the ground rules.
Thanks to everyone who submitted questions to Tuesday’s Ask Me Anything on Reddit Fantasy! Lots of great questions, and I appreciated all the people who came on board just to say “hi”! I checked in yesterday morning to answer a bunch more questions, and will be checking in just briefly tomorrow (Friday) to answer a few more.
Moderator “elquesogrande” says that the event was in the top-10 of all their AMA events since they began 4.5 years ago, which is awesome. So a big thank you to everyone who participated! The Brent Weeks AMA came in at #7, just behind…
Wait a second.
Joe Abercrombie?!? Joe Abercrombie came in at #6?!?
Ever wanted to interview me yourself? Tonight, you can. That’s right, I go online at 7pm CST (that’s 1am GMT), to answer your questions at Reddit.com’s Fantasy section. Check it out HERE. EDIT: Oops, that’s just the announcement page. The questions page is HERE. Sorry. You do have to be a member to ask questions (lurking is free!), but the sign-up is relatively painless and doesn’t cost anything (darn, was going to hit them up for royalties, ah well).
You can start posting comments/questions now, and between 7pm and 9pm Central Standard Time, I’ll be responding to them.

Look forward to talking with you tonight!

Brent has a new writing advice post up.
Highlights of the post: working in the shower, the beauty of low word count goals, and hacking your feelings. He also explains why he has a news feed, and not a blog.
(Brent says: if you want a good excuse to avoid meeting your own word count goal, check it out HERE.)
