I’m. On. Fire! The second writing session of the day (776 words) was even more productive than the first (765 words). 1541 words so far today. If my math is off, cut me a break…wasn’t my best subject. My new character, (name), did a lot in the scene I wrote. #SciFi#WritersOfMastodon#ScienceFiction

I used to watch Star Trek with my dad and family several times a week while growing up, and I'd love to do that with my kids now. We are sorely lacking #Kids#SciFi
Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley. You live 600 years in the future, as imagined 100 years ago, which is still racist and sexist, but especially classist by design through genetic and social engineering, so that everyone is happy in their assigned caste, yet you are still somehow vaguely unhappy. 2 of 5 library cats 🐈 🐈
For those interested, I've a little free sci-fi/cyberpunk short story – "General Ned" – that acts as a sort of prologue to my novel "MUNKi".
