Robert J. Sawyer Workshop

Today I had an awesome experience at Robert J. Sawyer's ​"A Thematic Approach to Science Fiction" workshop. I'm still processing everything I took in, so the next update to The Price of Entanglement is tomorrow.

I'd fully intended to take pictures and post a bunch of stuff about this, but it was such a good experience that I was sucked in and thinking the whole time, which didn't leave me any time for stray thoughts like snapping pictures.​

If you're into writing at all and you ever get the chance to attend one of his workshops or lectures, do it. Rob's a charismatic and funny speaker​ with a wealth of knowledge to share. I highly recommend it.

Sword & Laser Episode 1 is Live

The episode is live, I am indeed in the submitted videos, and now my stomach can stop churning so much. It’s a fantastic show, loving the video version. Tom and Veronica interview Scott Sigler, Phil Plait sends in a video question for Scott, then after the interview segment, they kick off the new fantasy book for the club, Lev Grossman’s The Magicians.

It turns out they did have an audio version of the interview with Robert J. Sawyer, so I feel a little silly having asked that, but it is true he has a new book out, so if they can get him on the show that’d be awesome.

And finally, it’s true, Veronica does have the same shirt. She scooped me on the final episode of Game On!
