1. Mia and Charles both recently made posts related to writing science fiction:

• More Notes on Science and Writing – Mia shares what she sees are possible angles for good science fiction stories.

• Writing Science Fiction – Charles tells about how the heart of a science fiction story is not actually the science. I find this essay comforting, because while science fiction fascinates me the most, I don’t think I can write hard science to save my life :P Not right now, anyway!
