Anthologies and Genres
Today, let’s talk about anthologies and genres, especially anthologies that blur genre boundaries and slip between with ease. In other words, let’s talk about how I write…

What Winning the Writers Forum Award Actually Changed
Winning competitions is important, of course, because it shows that people consider your writing to be good. However, what does it really change?

Are SF&F Escapism?
Some time ago, someone accused me of writing only escapist fiction because my stories are primarily science fiction and fantasy (SF&F). This is a rebuttal I wrote some years ago.

One thing every writer faces is rejection; it is part of the writer's life. Not wanting to face rejection is like being a boxer and not wanting to be punched in the face.
As I’ve promised before, it’s time to talk about rejections. “Rejection” is a harsh word to hear when you’re a writer, even though it’s part

Writing Excuses
Many times, people find themselves with “writer’s block”. I don’t believe in this anymore; it’s just an excuse.
BTW, you may recognise part of this post because it was in the post “Conditions” that I did a short while ago.
It’s that time of the year again, when people think about joining NaNoWriMo, the National Novel Writing Month. People undertake to write an
