Son and I went out and caught some amazing photos of the Blood Moon during totality. You could see the stars behind the moon once it was mostly in earth's shadow. An amazing experience! #moon #bloodmoon #eclipse #lunareclipse

On August 12, 1971, 16-year-old me mailed the first story I ever wrote off on its first submission to my dream market, F&SF. My tale was quickly rejected. On July 17th, 2025, I finally sold a story to that magazine. Here's why I felt I had to withdraw that story. www.scottedelman.com/wordpress/20...
The cover letter to my first submission: August 12, 1971 1381 East 72nd Street Brooklyn NY 11234 Edward L. Ferman The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fistion 347 East 53rd Street New York, NY 10022 Dear Mr. Ferman, I am submitting for possible publication the enclosed story, "Gem of the Gods". Too long has Sword and sorcery been dead. I hope this may help revive it. A stamped self-addressed envelope is enclosed in case of rejection. Sincerely yours, Scott Edelman

Thei wante us talkinge alone on our phones to a demon thei created, and not goinge places and being wyth each othir yn art and joy and communitye.

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed.

The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

I asked my French publisher why they are so completist publishing all of an author's work, even novels less likely to sell. She said she sees part of her role as like monasteries in medieval times, to preserve knowledge through the dark ages. I was struck in the gut a bit by this, felt emotional.

Paul Tremblay is in PEOPLE! Get a load of the synopsis - sounds riveting! Also, they call him "the celebrated author." Darn straight!

Apologize for retweeting the same article twice but - and I say this with no hint of irony - this is a pretext to the single largest, easily litigated lawsuit in human history. This is an egregious violation of IP law, law protected quite literally & specifically by the Constitution. Total insanity.

200+ pages into a second draft, I'm thinking again about how the world of a novel (and the voice you write about it in) ideally gets stronger and stronger as you write. A problem I'm always thinking about: The day you're truly prepped to start writing a novel is probably the day you finish it.

Have you heard the good news?

California finished a project that will create tons of clean renewable energy & help prevent evaporation and algae formations while keeping solar panels cooler & more efficient.

This article made my day!

California's first solar-covered canal is now fully online
The 1.6-MW pilot system is among a growing number of initiatives to put solar over waterways. The approach could generate gigawatts of power nationwide.

I hosted a Syrian refugee in my home for two years (via the Irish Red Cross) & it's one of the best decisions I ever made - I gained another little brother! Here's an article about people doing the same in the UK. If you have a spare bedroom, do think about it. 👇🏻

Deeply fascinated by the new wave band Trent Reznor used to play with in the 1980’s and how everyone looks so incredibly 80’s except for Trent Reznor who looks exactly the same as he always has to the point where he might as well have time traveled
