What did you blog about today?

Anya, that was incredibly honest and interesting. Because you often read about a person's journey but not the journey their spouse is obliged to take alongside. Thanks for sharing. :)

Jo, very good. And I was musing about your blog post, and realized that things feel a little different for me because I dabble in kid lit. YA/MG/PB spans multiple genres, and it's all still considered to be under the kid lit umbrella (in the USA, not sure about UK). The kid lit community in the USA is a hugely welcoming and inclusive one, so when I tell fellow writers I write sff I get the sort of response that goes, 'Oh. I don't read that. But hey, it's kid lit, so you're obviously one of us.' Which I think is perhaps a different attitude to the one towards people who write adult.

A little OT, but we have a local group of writers, with people of all genres, and one woman writes m/m romance. When she introduced herself she sort of went 'oh, they're not proper novels'. This from a person with multiple books out with established genre publishing houses. I laughed and told her she had more experience with publishing than the rest of us put together.
 
@Juliana Good interview on Urban Fantasy. Interesting to see her say some people think UF has to be in 1st POV. I'd never heard that before, though I can see the trend to doing that.

I have some news I'm bursting at talking about for my own first venture into UF! (I am pretty sure you beta read the short for me) Should be able to tell the world this week
 
I was lucky enough to go to a lunch& learn about drones recently and learn some more about these fascinating beasties. Wrote a little post on what I learned that's had some interest.

Thanks, Vaz. Tried to be matter-of-fact and objective, without dumbing down or going into too much detail.

I thought it was a nice summary, too. :)

Jo, enjoy your break. You absolutely deserve it! I'd be happy to do a guest post, if you like... Just have to think about what! :D

Speaking of blogging and what not, I'm delighted to say that I've joined the SFF World team and will be helping out with author interviews. It's kind of scary writing things that aren't just for my own little blog, but good scary, important scary. Pushing-out-of-the-snuggly-blanket-comfort-zone scary. :)
 
Nice one Juliana, that seems like a good move and your posts and interviews are always a joy, can't wait to read some of the stuff you come up with! :)
 
Thanks Vaz! You have no idea how nice it is to hear that. :) Sometimes the whole blogging thing can feel a little thankless. (Although the other day a RL acquaintance I never ever pegged as being interested in the sort of things I blather on about told me how much she likes my blog posts and I was bowled over.)
