Back in Black
After over a year, I think I’m back in action. Kids are doing the growing up thing and need less of my attention.
Somewhere along the way, I’d gotten tired of hearing myself shout the same thing over and over again. There’s only so many ways I found to say “Where’s the Future in Science Fiction gone?”
I’m still a rant-o-holic. That hasn’t changed.
I’ve surrendered on the multi-blogger approach. There are things I want to say about the current state of SF — particularly short SF — and I don’t want to drag anyone else through the mud. I will attempt to remain optimistic. I will attempt to remain respectful. I don’t expect the opinions I express here to exactly endear me to most of the publishers for which I am sorry but can’t apologize. I hope I don’t piss anyone off — especially when I start to name names and use published examples — for that’s not the point.
By the same token, I have been reluctant to engage on some fronts because I don’t want others who wrote for the old FutureTense blog to be tarred with the same brush that I intend to work hard for.
Ever yours, dear reader,
Alan
