With the planning for the upcoming Nano my mind continues to circle back to the basics of writing. At Forward Motion we have several newbies in chat who are working their way through the process of deciding what they want to write. And every year I hear the same line, over and over again from [...] Day 26 Wordcount: 3002 (Mop Jockies and Fighter Pilots, Short Story #9) Thanks to several word wars while in Forward Motion Writers chat, short story #9 is finished! I was hoping to finish it tomorrow, but as it crept towards bedtime I realized how close I was. I’m now late getting to bed, but I’m feeling [...] Day 18 Wordcount: 623 (Glint of a Ruin, Short Story #6) I’m over the half-way point in the May challenge, and I’m now a full 3 days behind.

Cities on the water, making use of all that watery space on planet Earth. For science fiction, this might also include other planets, water worlds, or maximizing Earth’s capacity as population goes out [...] This is a post I recently sent to a science fiction mailing list. A post I fully expect to be skewered for, but it was too much to stay silent about. Also titled: The Science Fiction Barbarians at the Gate I’ve been staying silent on some of the recent conversations. Oh dear. Why do I [...] I’ve now sorted through the list of Main Plots. While this is a huge step towards organizing the series, there is still a lot more work to do. The Subplot list has been patiently waiting its turn, and now it’s rarin’ to go! The Subplots are the smaller bits of Spice that make books so [...] |
