    Someone put together a list of the 35 Writers who Run the Internet that had a bunch of us scratching our heads in puzzlement. We’d collectively heard of two or three of them, and most of us are very well read online, keeping up with the changes in the industry. So I challenged several disparate…

    I will be doing a brief book review today, but first, I wanted to take a few moments of your time to think about America the Beautiful. I’m proud to be an American, I have been since I was a little girl still not entirely certain what that sentiment really meant. While I have never…

    That’s what you get when you portmanteau Hugos and brouhaha. We could also go with tempest in a teacup, which might yield Hucup, or… But I’ll stop there. I think I have made my point. Here’s the thing. I’m willing to bet guess (I don’t gamble) that most of the readers of this blog know…

    I wrote a paper for Human Growth and Development close to two years ago now, and it came immediately to mind when the latest example of childishness  popped up on the internet. Larry Correia delivers a brilliant fisking of the article. I really should expand on this paper, I didn’t even touch on the neural…

    It’s supposed to be a review Friday, and in a way, it is. Here’s my one-sentence plug: Larry Correia’s Warbound is superbly crafted, great story, with characters who will surprise, thrill, and keep you reading to find out what happens next. Go find a copy, but start with Hard Magic if you haven’t read the…

    I asked for first line suggestions on facebook yesterday after my post, and was overwhelmed with responses. I have a lot of friends who love to read. One of the things I had intended to do was to sort the recommendations by date, to see if opening lines have changed with writing styles over the…

    I managed to read this week! So exciting. Of course, it was because I was traveling, and then I was sick, so it was the silver lining in the cloud of waiting and misery. But I was really grateful for the paper books I’d managed to accumulate during the writer’s workshop, because I didn’t have…

    I loathe Hemingway. The only times I have read his work has been when required to do so for school. I had to read The Old Man and the Sea way back in the dark ages of time, when I was in elementary school (yes, really. Look, I was homeschooled, and my mother was perfectly…
