you want Discworld? You pay Pratchett to start with The Carpet People Hilary Mantel was first published in the 80s and Wolf Hall didn't appear until *2009* investing in authors as practitioners of a craft produces their best work, fireworks are pretty but vanish just as quickly

Here’s the thing about separating the art from the artist: When the artist’s entire identity is inextricably linked to the art, is still living, and uses the platform generated by that art to carry water for hate groups... it does not work.

It’s important to have large & diverse sample sizes, because if you use my data (Renaissance Florence) then 80% of men were bisexual and 90% of women were the Virgin Mary.

Back in November, we learned that Disney had pulled a breathtakingly criminal wage-theft manuever on one of science-fiction's most beloved authors, Allan Dean Foster, an elderly cancer-patient caring for his sick wife. pluralistic.net/2020/11/19/dis… 1/

If you have a platform choose not to use it to CLEARLY and LOUDLY denounce white supremacy and racism, that is certainly your choice but know that I (and many others in our industry) have zero respect for you.

I think a mandatory reading of every writer should be Ursula K. Le Guin’s ‘Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction’ it deals with this wonderfully.

Sometimes it can feel like the thing you're working on is complete and utter crap. These are four things you should remember, to remind you why you're not a good judge of character of your own work.

One of the maddening things about writing is that when you're planning out your process, you never budget enough time for the thinking, and the planning, and the deleting, and all the other not-writing components that are, in fact, part of writing.

“Ursula le Guin said that genre fiction writers were realists of a larger reality. Since SF we have had many different well-thought-through answers to what might this tech do before it happened. SF fights out ethical battles before we have to.” @Ada_Palmer feedproxy.google.com/~r/Singularity…

Editing is its own special circle of hell, but worth it in the end.

Turns out worldbuilding a novel can be a real annoyance. Either you have all the pieces coming down happily or you dive deep into a pit of unintended consequences. There is no happy middle.

There was a moon so far away, It's light cast down in scattered rays. A girl looked up face half hooded, Her prayers soft spoken wishes. Wishes of protection. The scattered light parted, Her form vanishing with the night, The horses and their rides rode by without stopping.
