Weekend Writing Warriors: Sunday 28 December 2014 (NaNo 2014 WIP Romance with Rayguns)
“Well, it’s not been T-7 leaving those mines for us,” Taryn said. “That lot doesn’t have starships; they’ve poured all they have down the rat-hole. Or the singularity, I should say. Pouring it down the rat-hole at least feeds rats.” “The … Continue reading

Love in the Time of Starships: part zero, the manifesto
Over the last few years, there have been doctrinal ructions over “purity of genre” in the SF/F world, with definite gendered and racialized intent, not coincidentally as those other than white males have become both visible and visibly successful in … Continue reading
Me and my pal the Inner Editor have a little chat
Last night I did an overflight of all the work I want to edit before New Year’s. I looked at common structural patterns and did a thinking-on-paper journal bout laying out what they are. Our old nemesis the inner Editor … Continue reading
Book Reviews: some notes in place of a manifesto
As various scandals have erupted in the SF/F and romance reviewing world over the last months, I’ve been (re) thinking what I believe about reviews. In particular, I’ve been noticing that I read a lot of books, and I talk … Continue reading

Weekend Writing Warriors: Sunday 7 December 2014 (NaNo 2014 WIP Romance with Rayguns)
“Let’s eat before we discuss homicide.” Taryn laughed. “Contemplating it is a lot easier before I’ve eaten, I’ll grant.” “Then let me be sure you are always well fed,” Hernan said, “much as they say about beasts of prey.” “The … Continue reading

Weekend Writing Warriors: Sunday 30 November 2014 (NaNo 2014 WIP Romance with Rayguns)
“From each according to her ability,” Taryn said, quoting some folk-wisdom that sounded vaguely familiar. “I’ll be frank, it was quite amazing watching you all. As if you were three parts of the same organism. Amazing. I wouldn’t have guessed … Continue reading
