My 5 yr old this morning: "Daddy I know how to light a match." In the writing business we call that foreshadowing.

For those that are curious, he does know how to light matches. In fact, he made this fire all by himself. Without telling me. The only reason I knew about it was because he didn't know to open the flue. Also, the matches are all now hidden.

Some of my sci-fi writer friends (as well as scientists) may be interested in this collection of open-access articles on the biology of spaceflight cell.com/c/the-biology-…

Attempting a short Sci-Fi story (2K wordcount) for an anthology. Written 1,700 words which are ace, but main action not even started yet! Will make an awesome epic though😃 So, new blank page. Sci-Fi's hard in 2K isn't it? Not just me?' #WIP #writingcommunity #writingcafe #scifi

Finished off a short story tonight about research and aliens, with an open twist at the end. If scientists told you aliens had landed how likely would you be to believe it after the events of 2020/21? #scifi #amwriting #writingcafe #writingcommunity

Sometimes I meet a stranger and think, ‘Wow! You’re going in my next novel.’ Happened recently. She was tiny, bird-fragile, brittle, with quick pecking movements. Yet her voice and character were so strong. How? What shaped her? I love these moments. #WritingCommunity #writing

I can’t remember who recommended it, but I started reverse editing today. It’s amazing what I’m picking up when I read my WIP backwards, one paragraph at a time. Thank you, whoever you are! #WritingCommunity
