Guest post - The Timelost by Chris Turner

Hi,

This is the first time I've run a guest post.  What prompted me to run this one was the combination of the written word and sound.  If you follow the The Timelost link below you'll see what I mean.   I haven't come across this before and found it fascinating.  Anyway, I'll let Chris tell you about it:

Science fiction, small creatures and alien life.

This week's blog was inspired by watching a creature smaller than a pin head crawling across my bathroom floor  So I ask, are we as writers and readers of science fiction being lazy with our aliens? http://wp.me/p3ycbY-1fO

The Trouble with Aliens

Aliens can be a problem for science fiction writers.  We have to make them different, 'alien', yet
readers must be able to identify with them and understand their motives.  Perhaps that's why so many are humanoid looking.   http://wp.me/p3ycbY-15w
