I finally got around to seeing Avengers: Infinity War. This movie is the latest Marvel installment in their current franchise reboot. They've done some really fun and amazing ones recently, but there have also been some major flops for me, including Dr. Strange and Guardians 2. For me, Infinity War fell closer to these two...

We've got some cool things coming down the pike, my brain is melted, and also I've read a bunch somehow? It's been a wild week of writing, or two weeks now I guess since we're in May. Some housekeeping, first. I'll be doing a blog tour coming up (dates and places will be announced as... Continue Reading →
Friends, my brain is still oozing from the majesty and magic that was Futurescapes 2018. Accordingly, I'm taking a minute to check in here before running off to do all of the things that I need to do to get caught back up. Thanks for your patience while I was out of town. First of...

You may wonder what in the world I have been up to lately, and let me say - a lot. April is a rollercoaster and I'm not strapped in. Please expect me to be absolutely mad over here. Currently, I'm preparing to leave for Salt Lake City (or rather, its environs) where I am attending... Continue Reading →

Obviously, I was watching this movie well after having seen the glory that was Thor: Ragnarok, and it gave me... Continue Reading →
Life is hard, friends. I was sick with a terrible cold for two weeks and it threw me straight out of any kind of rhythm. I've been scrambling to get back on the metaphorical pony, and it's been slow going. You may know that it is almost April, and that I have some big things... Continue Reading →
I received a comment a few weeks back about how to best maximize your writing time. If you only have a half hour to an hour a day to work on things, this can be a real challenge for making any headway on your manuscript. Here are some things that work for me. As always... Continue Reading →
I've been looking forward to the movie adaptation of Annihilation for a long time, largely because I really enjoyed the book and also because of one specific reason: the cast of the book is, with one exception, entirely female. This is a big deal, since the story revolves around a bunch of highly-educated, idiosyncratic scientists... Continue Reading →
I go to conventions to spread the word about my existence, sure, but I also go to conventions to learn. (And to meet awesome people, but that is a side benefit to the utility, even if it is a very important one.) This year, I had a number of great experiences - being on an... Continue Reading →
