I’ve been horrible about updating my blog. So I thought I’d at least give an update as to what’s going on with my work for those who are interested. Here’s where we’re at: GENERATION SHIP is done. When I say done, I mean I don’t ever touch it again. We’ve sent out early copies to...

I find myself posting less and less on Twitter, and I haven’t really had the motivation to invest in a new social media platform. Most of my writer thoughts are now shared on Discord, which is nice because I like the people on there, but limiting as it’s only a select group of folks. But...

I’ve been away from the blog for a bit, mostly because I haven’t had a ton to say, but also because when there are competing demands on my writer time, it’s probably the least productive use of said time. There’s a lot going on, and I’m probably not supposed to talk about most of it....

There are no universal rules in writing. But that doesn’t mean that there aren’t rules. It’s just that you have to figure out the rules that work for you. These are my rules. They work for me. That doesn’t mean they’ll work for you. They are neither right nor wrong, because, as I said, there...

It’s awards nomination season for science fiction and fantasy writers, and since I regularly tell other people to make sure that they post something that tells what they have eligible (since I nominate for both the Nebulas and the Hugos), I suppose I have to write my own. Quick aside: doesn’t it feel like we...

At the beginning of the year, I started writing a new book. Convenient timing, that. I thought I’d give an inside look at how that was going after two weeks. If you follow me, you may know that recently I finished up all of my contracted books and that those two books will be out...

I thought I’d reflect on my year in writing for 2021, my first year as a full-time writer. I enjoy reading them from other writers, and I suppose I’m in sort of a reflective mood. Warning: 2021 hasn’t been all great for me, so this may turn a bit dark near the end. I considered...

I’m behind on my novel. Let me clarify that. I’m behind where I want to be on my novel–where I need to be to reasonably make my deadline. So let’s take a look at how I got here. Despite 2020 being what it was, I had a pretty good second half of the year writing....

In the tradition of soon-to-be-failing New Year’s resolutions everywhere, I place here in a public place my writing goals for 2021, so that I may be suitably shamed by them if I fail to achieve them. The Known: Part of this is easy. I’ve got two books under contract, so unless I want to pay...
