Well, my book comes out today. I'm officially a published novellalist / novellist / novellattante. 😇
For writers of novelettes, it's novelist, but you say it to make it rhyme with "artiste".
Q: if a novelist is one who writes novels, is a novellalist one who writes novellas? Or do we have a better word than that?
Some stories mean more to me than others (shh, don't tell them, they don't know). But, I love Softer Shades so much, and it's just been released by @radonjournal.bsky.socialwww.radonjournal.com/issue8/softe...
Radon Journal Issue 8 featuring twenty radical writers of science fiction and social commentary.
If you write microfiction, lemme know (stories under 250 words) go.bsky.app/K1RuMmL
Oh my god this review of my book by @stillfleet.bsky.socialwww.goodreads.com/review/show/... I’m so deeply flattered, wow
As a writer of speculative fiction, I typically recommend to other writers that they focus on the specific—on vivid details that trick the mind into making the irreal sound, look, smell, and feel real...
Tomorrow, No Sympathy comes out. However, instead of stressing myself about trying to do promotion and finishing more projects and producing, producing, producing, I’m gonna take a little break, enjoy the accomplishment, and play some video games. I’m thinking Immortality and 1000xResist.
Nope! I’m going to work my way through his whole back-catalogue sooner or later though. I like him a lot too. My next read from him will be Iron Council to finish off the Bas-Lag trilogy (though don’t expect a review soon 😅)
Recently read: The City & The City by China Miéville. This had been on my TBR since time immemorial. Miéville is a writer I respect enormously for his ability to provide speculative analysis to more modern subjects, and this is a particularly focused, incisive example of it. 💙📚
