#ScienceFiction #SciFi #Fantasy #Horror & #SpeculativeFiction #Writers! Are you part of #SFWA, or interested in that slice of the SFFH world?
If so, let's build up some hashtag chatter here around it, shall we? #CoSo offers so much space to develop new conversation feeds around our loves and interests. So let's make it a lively place, & grow our #WritingCommunity wherever we can!
What are you working on right now?
Or maybe... what SHOULD you be working on, while exploring #CoSo instead? 😂 😬
Of course, I forgot to include the hashtag, @MLClark 🙄
@cmskiera That's great! Is it second-world fantasy (other realm completely, with fantasy species & the like)? Or fused with ours (urban, alt-historical, steampunk, etc.)?
Going to get a couple of SF stories in queues this week, then back to an AI detective novel I've been dragging my heels on editing. Good to have multiple projects to switch between, to get *something* done when your brain wants to skitter away from the main task! 😆
Relatively traditional earth-like setting, @MLClark. Hopefully with some surprises thrown in (and tropes left out).
Gosh, @MLClark, I don't know if I have a single one. Too many lumped together though make it feel stale. I like when authors play with tropes and put their own twists and spins on them.
@MLClark I should be working on my gaslamp #fantasy, but instead I'm trying to figure out how to find people here from #SFWA! #amwriting
@abigailreynolds Yay! Fellow #SFWA! I posted a couple of toots to get the hashtag going, but I look forward to more than a few of us fleshing out that space here on CoSo, and getting a real convo going. :) (Also, huzzah for gaslamp fantasy! Hope you're feeling good about your progress with it so far. 🤞 )
@MLClark Yes! Excited to get convos going here. Let's write!
@MLClark Revising a story about skeletons and necromancers.
Also chopping some words out of a scifi story about a failing hivemind on a crashing spaceship, hoping to make it more suitable for a specific publication. My edits are usually pretty minimal when resubmitting elsewhere, but I've seen a lot I can do with this one (after I've nearly exhausted my options, go figure!)
Mostly? Working on getting past old age.
But seriously? More getting over my happiness that I'm not the only one posting under the #SpeculativeFiction tag here any longer 😁
Long live the #Coso #WritingCommunity 🥳
@netspionage @MLClark #ScienceFiction #SpeculativeFiction "getting past old age", that triggers an idea I have been kicking around for a while, since an accidental lunch with this guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvWtSUdOWVI
I was at a tech conference, thought he was a homeless guy who wandered in for the free lunch. I beckoned him over to my table to give him some cover.
He wound up changing me - "What if you could live forever?"
Working on a stand-alone fantasy novel, @MLClark How 'bout you?
