It’s the season for conflict. No, not Trump vs. Clinton. I’m talking Nanowrimo fans and their opposition, a group that for the lack of a better term I’ll call the, anti-rimos. On one hand, you’ve got something like 29.394 billion writers of various skill levels pounding out words at a 50,000 word pace for the […]
Read More ...“Ten Things” is Published!
Here’s a quick note to say that “Ten Things” is up an available for free this month at Galaxy’s Edge. It’s always great to be able to note that something I wrote has been published, and even more so given that GE is edited by Mike Resnick—a guy who was so helpful to me early […]
Read More ...A Day With Kids and the Stars
A picture I took from Mt. Lemmon a few months ago Sunset at Tucson, and at Altitude (smile) I spent most of the day at a local K-8 school, helping members of the astronomy club I now find myself a part of teach six classes of 7th graders how to view the night skies. We […]
Read More ...When Plans Go Astray
I recently spent over a week at a workshop in Oregon where I heard Kris Rusch talk a little about her September, which she’s blogged about, and which I’ll term as a “month from Hell.” For me, that month has been October. At the beginning of the month, the plan had been to have four […]

I’m at that stage in the Stealing the Sun project where everything feels like it’s this big hodge-podge mess of brambles and mud held together by muckety-mucky, and it’s all started to roll down hill in the middle of a rainstorm full of wind. Got it? If you’re doing indie publishing (or any other kind […]

I’m clearly going to have to write faster. I mean … seriously. It seems that science might be catching up to my fiction. Why do I say that, you ask? Well, I’m doing this science fiction series that’s an intergalactic thing based on three short stories I wrote for Analog some time back. Given that […]
