I use the word "copse" unironically in my YA sci-fi thriller (with romance elements). Just sayin'.

Today I got my very first query reply that wasn’t a form rejection. I had stopped querying with any seriousness, just sending some every few weeks as a chore, like cleaning my bathroom. I worry about the agent. Should I have police do a wellness check?

I’m am bummed that even if my books were widely promulgated, no humans will be around in a few centuries to enjoy them. Nevertheless, I will write until they take my pen from my cold, dead hands and dissect me for science.

In Chronicles of Narnia by CS Lewis, boy are Sons of Adam and girls are Daughters of Eve. To counter this binary gender dystopia, I suggest replacing these terms with the more inclusive descriptor Living Scrapple. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

I’m writing a sci fi novel where climate change is not a plot element. Because I’m writing fiction.

Writing a novel set in a calm and rationale United States is difficult because I don’t write fantasy. This is not a joke.
