Being Dunyazade
Kage Baker felt that accessorizing was a vital component of life. All tasks and experiences, she believed, were enhanced by having the appropriate add-ons to hand: the right idols, the right music, the right snacks. The idea was to broaden … Continue reading
Islands and Edges IV; January 10th II
Kage Baker tried to make sure she had an outline before she began a story. That sounds like the most logical thing in the world to a non-writer, I’d imagine; but really, it can be something you have to remember … Continue reading
February 10th, I
Kage Baker was into victory dances, at least partially because Harry the Parrot loved to dance with people. Kage could cavort all around the living room with the parrot clinging to her shoulder, shrieking with glee. Both of them, usually … Continue reading
Resuming Service
Kage Baker was, most adamantly and by deliberate self-design, a writer. She wrote – first, foremost, in preference to almost any other activity, she wrote. It’s an ideal for most writers. But it takes the kind of dedication, stubbornness and … Continue reading
Tomorrow
Kage Baker kept her tonsils until she was 31 years old. It wasn’t her idea. She just never got tonsillitis much as a kid. So, although Kimberly and I had ours out in a job lot at 11 and 10, … Continue reading

Kage Baker was a model of authorly discipline. She sat down every day and wrote – usually on a deliberately set topic, from a carefully arranged outline, so many words a day, so many points ticked off on a neat … Continue reading
Working On Superbowl Sunday
Kage Baker loathed football. We never watched any sports but the Olympics once we left home. But growing up in a household rich with brothers, uncles and male cousins, exposure to televised sports was inevitable. And with Mamma the Southern … Continue reading
January 31, 2015
Kage Baker died on January 31, 2010, at 1:14 AM. She would have scolded me very sternly for remembering the date, or doing anything that even hinted at memorializing it. She herself tried to ignore death dates. But, having spent … Continue reading
Edges and Islands II
Kage Baker loved jigsaw puzzles passionately. When a plot went well and the story began to tell itself to her, that was like a jigsaw beginning to grow together – the pieces turning, mutating, breeding and spawning whole new stretches of … Continue reading
