Originally published February 10, 2011. Only edits are minor typos and clarity. At the moment, I am reading SCIENCE FICTION 101 edited by Robert Silverberg. It contains some of the stories that shaped him as a young writer, and he analyzes these works as to why they are not only…
AKA... HAVE TO VS WANT TO Every day, I'll see at least one MEME or post on any of my social media about how terrible writing is. So much of the conversations at conventions and symposiums revolve around the struggles of getting writing done. It's like…
This is going to wander about a bit as I think through my fingers. First off... We're back here rather than at GallowglasArmy.com. Going forward, that's going to be the new email zine I'm put together. This site is once again my "…
