Kat Howard is one of the most interesting new writers around. I had the pleasure of sitting on a panel with her up in Detroit. I had a great time, of course, and along the way I came to the conclusion that she’s just a really impressive person. I had read a few things from […]
Read More ...Pain
As you may remember from a couple of my earlier posts (here, and here), Lisa has been working her way through a somewhat difficult foot surgery. This has caused us to speak about pain with relative frequency. As the usual practice of Monte Carlo random Interwebs linkage following would have it, I ran into this […]
Read More ...New Beginnings
This is one of the weirdest, strangest, and (I guess) most wonderful, remarkable, and exciting posts I’ve ever written. It’s one that I’ve anticipated for as long as I’ve been writing, which is … well … a pretty long time. My first published story was almost 19 years ago, after all, and I had been […]
Read More ...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 […]
Read More ...Ron’s Story Demographics
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 […]
Read More ...Not Finishing
Turns out my expectation of finishing Lord of the Freeborn over the weekend was pretty much fanciful. Who knew, eh? On the positive side, I have managed–I think–to get through the natty front half that has been killing my buzz for the past gosh-awful many weeks. This is good, of course. So, you ask, when […]
Read More ...Tang Fei
I am considering creating a space here on Typosphere where I can talk about and point my meager but brilliant readership toward other really interesting people. I may do that if I get some extra time, which I’m hoping to do Sometime Real Soon Now (he says, grinning with cunning slyness). If I had such […]
Read More ...Mur and the Totally Trick Question
Yesterday I was listening to a podcast interview of Mur Lafferty. Mur is a writer, an editor, and a big name podcaster. And, of course, a recent Campbell Award winner as best new writer. The questions were interesting overall, but it seemed that the interviewer was not, let’s say, the most positive-minded person in the […]
