My daughter, the high-tech, modern writer.

Huh.
My FB Feed today brings me a link to this review of my story “Bugs” from Tangent Online. I strongly suspect that seeing “Recommended” as a final word in a review of my work will never get old. [grin] # “So, just what does a writer do?” I’ve been getting that question a lot over […]
Read More ...Lezli Robyn: Most Interesting Person #2
Goal for the morning: Make one, single conversation absolutely sing. Status: Goal achieved. * * At least I think so, and right now I’m the one who matters, eh? # So here’s my second pass at something I would put on a page that pointed my brilliant readership to other, probably far more interesting people […]

I admit I’m stymied about how to respond to the recent discussion about gender and race in science fiction. I get it all and I agree with the general focus, though I tend to think of things as always in transition and get a bit angsty at folks with the most one-toned responses. They are […]

I’m slowly getting back into a more normal flow of things after a full week+ in San Antonio. For me, these things take time even in normal situations, but with Lisa still on limited duty, it takes TIME. This morning, however, I did manage to get back to some actual serious word creation. I’m working […]

Lisa and me in San Antonio. I don’t really know why she likes me, but I know she makes me look good. 🙂

I am plagued by the problem of having too many things in my head that I want to discuss. In times like these I’m working on just taking a deep breath, analyzing, prioritizing, and then saying “let’s just do whatever we want, okay?” So I’ll start by noting the Third Flatiron anthology, Lost Worlds, Retraced […]
