I was on a great panel on this at @armadillocon.bsky.social - writer's block is TOTALLY a thing. I fought a lot of guilt from those who dismiss it. Mine was Day Job related and totally real for a long time. It took longer than I thought to come out of.
Still learning to be kind to myself.

Writer's block is a thing. Just because you haven't experienced it yourself, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Everybody's writing process and *EXPERIENCE* is different, so to dismiss what could be an important part of that process and experience (even a negative part) is arrogant and clueless.

Genuinely bewilders me that the work of Michael Moorcock is as absent as it is from the conversations around the fantasy genre today.
The first author I read to show me what else fantasy could be. So of course I'm biased and yes I'm old.

I don't know about QUESTIONS, per se, but this is my favorite interview of me (and not just because "Interviewed by a puppet"), because they really did the research about me first and made it a very enjoyable experience!

With WorldCon a few weeks in the past and ArmadilloCon this weekend and various Other Things In The Discourse, feels like a good time to bring back my advice on being a pleasant person to have on a panel!

And ArmadilloCon 2025 is wrapped. A very excellent weekend, folks were quite happy with panels and programming, our live show of @worldbuildcast.bsky.social was fantastic, and late night karaoke was an absolute hit. It was wonderful to catch up with so many great folks in this community.

Had a really good time at ArmadilloCon, seeing old friends, meeting people in person, making new friends. Got a little inspiration from the panels I attended ... different ways of doing things, new angles to try with my writing.
And we sold out of THE SMALL HOURS...which is a pretty cool feeling.

ArmadilloCon was a lot of fun, but I kept running out of steam and feeling wobbly. There were "two stick" and "one stick" times when I needed both or just one. We (writing group) had a table in the Dealer's Room, and I had provided brownies to lure in browsers. Came home with just a few.
