"Science Fiction is the improbable made possible," Rod Serling said. As a sci-fi writer, sometimes I've believed as many as six improbable things before breakfast and I'd like to share them with you!

    Building Momentum, a Brother's Visit, and the Curtain of Subjectivity

    After a longer break than expected, I'm back to talk about finally building some momentum on getting my next book published, my new cover, and a possible future guest for the podcast. I'm also getting lots of notes from my kids, reading mysterious books, and thinking about how an author can reveal more about a character than the character knows about themselves.

    Research, Beautiful Writing, and Varied Opinions

    I'm finally back on track with editing, and having to research things to make sure everything is right, from timelines to frozen rivers. Also, is book 3 really as bad as I thought it was? Also, my daughter has learned her letter sounds, I've discovered a new beloved author, and I'm glad to remember that you can't please everyone.

    Early Rising, Narnia, and How to Tell a Story

    Struggling to write has led me to wake up earlier, and I'm trying to come up with more YouTube content. I'm also reading one of my all-time favorite series to my kids, I'm reading thrillers, and I'm thinking about how the way you reveal things in a story can pull you forward, and how many of those choices depend on the kind of story you're trying to tell.

    Back Trouble, Wonderbook, and Re-Igniting the Spark

    Rewriting is progressing, but not as quickly as I'd like, partly due to physical injury. But I have been able to start recording a new audiobook and record a few videos. Also, my daughter loves spelling words, I'm reading a unique book on writing, and I've found an important piece of the puzzle when it comes to keeping myself motivated over time.

    Complications, Reviews, and Enigmatic Titles

    Editing is going slowly but smoothly, but I'm having complications with my latest audiobook. I do have book reviews up in a new place, however, and I've been watching sad Disney movies, reading good books, and thinking about the impact of titles that don't quite make sense at first.

    Doing it All, Crosstalk, and Romance

    I'm plugging away slowly at audiobook production and novel editing, while also wrapping up my current YouTube series! I also have thoughts about the different ways my girls think, the writing style of Connie Willis, and what kinds of romance I can actually enjoy.

    Reader Agreement, Bleak Twisty Thrillers, and Continuing vs. Restarting

    I am FINISHED recording my next audiobook, and have big plans for the rest of the series! I'm also getting great reader feedback on my next book, working on thinking up new YouTube content, and taking my daughter on a special bookstore date. I also read too many bleak thrillers in a row, and post-workout soreness has me contemplating how it can be so much easier to continue than to restart.

    Valentine's Audiobook, Moving Websites, and Fiction Burnout

    I produced and posted an audiobook in less than 24 hours, and I've been working on several other projects as well. Moving my websites for one thing. Also, my baby loves reading, I'm reading a good book, and I'm thinking about what made me start loving fiction again last year.
