On Questions About Writing
In the past few days — since Shore Leave, really — I’ve been asked a number of questions on writing. Like where I get my ideas from. Like what’s my writing process. Like what kind of music do I listen to. Like what are my plans for publication. Like how do I see my writingContinue reading “On Questions About Writing”
On Shore Leave 2009, Day Three
And today, Shore Leave comes to its annual end. Alas, alack, and many alarums. It’s a jam-packed Sunday. What do I have on tap? Writing To Music: The Muse That Inspires — Hunt, 11am to NoonSome people write to music. I’m one of those people. What does music do for a writer? Can it putContinue reading “On Shore Leave 2009, Day Three”
On Shore Leave 2009, Day Two
Saturday at Shore Leave. 🙂 There is one thing I make sure not to miss every year at Shore Leave — the breakfast buffet at the Cinnamon Tree restaurant. They have omelets and they have Belgian waffles. It’s the only time all year I get omelets. I usually order one with ham and cheese andContinue reading “On Shore Leave 2009, Day Two”

On Being Barking Mad
Yesterday I had a “barking mad” story idea. It’s really not that mad. It’s not my insane desire to write a Doctor Who/Uncle Scrooge crossover, which I think would be absolutely fab. It’s more a case of “Why has no one ever thought to put this together with that?” As best I can tell, noContinue reading “On Being Barking Mad”
On the End of Friday
I arrived home from work today, and discovered that I’d received an unexpected package. Big Finish sent me a comp copy of Short Trips: Re:Collections. 🙂 I’ve had a copy of the book since the beginning of the month. I’d bought it from WhoNA, because I wanted a copy of the “Best Of” anthology thatContinue reading “On the End of Friday”
On the Strange New Worlds Interview
Unreality SF posted today Strange New Worlds: A Look Back, an article in which several authors look back on Pocket Books’ Strange New Worlds anthology contest.

On This Morning’s Writing
While I’ve talked a bit about “THOD” the past few weeks, except for this snatch of dialogue, I’ve not really offered much insight at all into what I’m writing. Except that “THOD” is not actually the title, one of the main characters goes by Freddy, the story spans twenty-five years, that sort of thing. OverContinue reading “On This Morning’s Writing”
