As I said in an earlier post, I'm not doing NaNoWrMo this year, but I am doing more writing. Now I'm here to share the first fruit of these labours. Wait, that sounded weird. Maybe I've been doing too much writing. Introducing the Six Big Do Nots of Earth Tourism, a flash fiction piece about …

Time for a fantasy album review. I started this review last month when I got the album, but I held off on it until I receive my companion comic book. The comic has only just arrived, due to a combination of me ordering late and things taking forever to ship to Australia. But I've read …
No. I should not. I will probably die if I push myself to write that much. Besides, I finally got back to my long neglected story about telepathic tree fungi and am ready to write about the fight with the dragon. I don't want to shelve that for a month to do NaNoWrMo. On the …

Which is more commonly known both in English and Chinese as just The Three-Body Problem or Three-Body ( 三体, San ti) series. The main trilogy consists of The Three-Body Problem, The Dark Forest, …
A few weeks ago I joined an online writing community called Reedsy. My goal was to participate in the site's weekly prompt contest. I've never considered myself good at short stories. I struggle with coming up with good ideas that don't require tons of worldbuilding, I struggle with deadlines, and I often lack the confidence …
I focus on the Hugo Awards a lot, but of course they aren't the only awards out there. I guess I like the Hugos because I can participate in them. I'd like to give a quick shout-out to some other award winners and nominees. First off, the Locus Awards. I covered the announcement of the …
