The comments on the audiobook have me rolling. "This book killed me, it really did. Almost knocked me out to tell you the truth." Reading it as an adult is sad. He thinks of several people he could call when he's lonely, but he just can't bring himself to do it. Teen me would have been mad at him

Did you know that in the 1940s, Ray Bradbury earned about 8¢ per word? In the 21st century, an SF writer also makes about 8¢ per word.

While I do outline, I do this later, during revisions. It helps me keep track and make sure I've hit everything important even if the info gets moved around a but

My ritual is planning where the homeschooled kids will be, to reduce interruptions. That's it. I'll take my tools anywhere!
