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 natural world - be amazed.

As a writer I think it is important that I understand the world around me.  As a human being, well, it is just important.  At some point many of us stop being amazed by the natural world. If we could recapture that fascination perhaps we'd be less likely to destroy it.  http://wp.me/p3ycbY-1ev

Fortitude - a lesson from the canal builders
