I meant to get this out yesterday but I had one more story to go and I didn’t get to the story until this morning. So without further delay, here are my thoughts on Volume 1, Issue 3 of SCIENCE FICTION AGE.
Up at 4:30 AM. I ate only part of my breakfast this morning. It wasn’t that I wasn’t hungry, but that those Skittles I ate last night burned out all of the taste buds on my tongue and I couldn’t taste anything. Or what I could taste, tasted terrible! I was into the gym at…
I had one of my very rare cravings for candy tonight and since it is my free-day, I went out and got a 1 pound bag of Skittles and promptly consumed half the bag. Now I feel gross! My tongue and cheeks hurt from all of the sugar. I need better self-control… I’m off to…
Having sold my first story a few weeks ago, this week I finally got around to sending out some short “thank you” messages to writers who have influenced me and given me encouraging words not to give up over the years. Today I sent a note to Piers Anthony. Growing up (in junior and senior)…
I downloaded the pilot episode of Babylon 5 last night from the iTunes store. I read a review of the show in the premier issue of SF AGE and it sounded interesting, and I also received some additional recommendations for the show from other folks. I watched it this afternoon and it was a pretty…

I headed to breakfast just after 8 AM and then on my way home, decided to get the grocery shopping out of the way. I bought one of those Crest teeth whitening kits to see if they really work in 7 days. My teeth are not terribly discolored, just kind of off-white, but enough so…
I have had dreams about my cat, Zeke (short for Ezekiel) in the past, but never one in which he could talk. Until last night. The dream was odd for several reasons. Aside from the fact that Zeke could talk in plain, clear English, it took place on the floor of my reading room, which…
Today was a lazy day for me. For one thing, I did not end up going to the gym today. For another, I slept a lot. I didn’t get up until 9 AM, which is late for me. After breakfast, I lazed around, watching TV until just after noon, when I decided to read. That…
Spurred on today’s rejection slip from ANALOG, and by encouraging words from mabfan, I completed the first draft of a new story today. The story is called “4005 B.C.” and it’s a short time travel paradox story, with a twist in that the paradox has little to do with time travel and everything to do…
