In a scene today, MC unexpectedly rage screamed at the alien with sharp teeth and prehensile tongue, and writing it felt oddly cathartic. Still reflecting on that. (It wasn’t cathartic for her, but oh that’s coming, that’s what the whole story is about.)

#WritersCoffeeClub March 14: Do you think readers want new experiences in structure or narrative, or do they prefer what's familiar?
Yes, every time!

19y ago today I joined Twitter and spent months fascinated by how the feed went by faster than you could keep up, so unlike forums, blogs, LJ etc. For years it was great, weird, informative, newsy, though horrible at times…
Over time “actually” culture became gotcha culture. Trolling fed by bots grew dominant. I blocked & blocked (eventually >100k accounts). Not fun. I posted less, then stopped, then disabled my account, then just deleted it in disgust
But those early years bring fond memories

#ScribesAndMakers Jan 24: What's a work of science fiction that you love? What do you love about it?
To step off yet recent path: CJ Cherryh’s Rimrunners, a Merchanter novel in the Alliance-Union universe.
This is about a woman space Marine toughing out subsistence survival on a station filled w war refugees. Gritty, dark w sexual & physical abuse, not for everyone. Cherryh’s vivid, kinetic prose focuses on Bet’s journey (and less on the big picture scope of Downbelow Station and Cyteen).

Question for authors and editors who’ve moved off Word: What have you moved to?
I need a Word replacement for editing/exchanging mss w others that at minimum retains styles, can track changes on long (novel-length) docs without slowing to a crawl, and can output a clean .doc to send/use elsewhere.
This is an annoying undertaking but necessary bc reasons. Please share any suggestions and/or experiences that might be helpful. Thx!

In this year’s election, all u.s. citizens who are not being prevented from voting will make one of 4 choices:
□ vote to keep having elections
□ vote to end elections
□ vote 3rd party & end elections
□ not vote & end elections
However else you look at it, this applies

The ghost couldn’t knock so it waited for the children dressed as goblins, vampires, witches and politicians to ring the bell. The door opened. “Trick or treat!”
“So adorable!” said a lady in skeleton makeup. As she gave them candy, the ghost stepped inside and was greeted by other ghosts.
“Thank you!” said the children. The door closed. The lady sat down and looked her phone. The ghosts gathered ’round and watched the news scroll by and cried and cried and cried.
