What did you blog about today?

The perils of Edwardian fonts!

 

[CTRandall]

@Stephen Palmer Nice artwork. It's distinctive, avoiding typical tropes and styles. It should stand out nicely in a crowd. i get what Montero says about the T/C thing but it didn't bother me.

Ginger It Up. Cats, again. And a pony, just because.

More random space stuff, including satellites that shoot each other with harpoons and a radio telescope that's floating in space beyond the Moon's far side.

Space satellites that fire harpoons and nets, radio observatory beyond the Moon starts its mission, and could we live on Mars?

Pick o' the podcasts: Main engine cutoff: An interview with a company developing harpoon and nets for capturing spacecraft 365 days...

A triple review of Stephen Fry's Mythos, Gaiman's Norse Mythology and The Sagas of the Icelanders. In a Mexican standoff between Fry, Gaiman and a Viking horde, who do you think will win?

 

[Stephen Palmer]

Stephen Fry.

 

[CTRandall]

@Stephen Palmer Yeah, yeah, everyone's a fan of the man. But have you ever been to Iceland? It rocks!

On Violence and Fig Leaves

Super blog, as usual.

 

[StilLearning]

In a change from my usual (which is space and technology news, and is here Unexplained oxygen on Mars, Star Wars trailer, alcohol in space, space politics, weird structures near the Sun and much more! ) I'm blogging an artistic experiment... would be interested to know what people think, although this is a very hastily done and rough thing just to give an idea of how the final piece would work:

An experiment in horror....

If you enjoy this then come see some more on my Etsy page, here ! Hey, it's been a while but I suddenly have some time on my hands (re...

I'm sorry to hear that Thad, but happy that it's for a good cause.

The Book of Skulls by Robert Silverberg

Oh, I love that book. I first read it as a teenager, and it struck such a chord, for various reasons.

Thanks, Big Peat. Still doing tiny bits of writing. The thing that irks me a bit is that my books are well-rated, but sales (excepting Bane of Souls, which broke 1,000) have been pretty low. Anyway, still might write more fiction in the future, but right now it just doesn't make sense.

I feel like that's the new norm, and that's why the grim advice that anyone who live life without feeling the need to write fiction should. And I totally get why you don't right now. But hopefully the urge will return some time in the future!
