Our topic this week at the SFF Seven is whatever is on our minds. Which is always dangerous to ask. We’re all busy people, so I’m going to bet we all have about 10,000 things on our minds, all bumping and jostling for priority. Come on over to learn about how I’m living dangerously!

//Our topic at the SFF Seven this week takes a look at the oft-quoted advice for writers: “If you’re bored writing, the reader will be bored reading.” And we’re asking is this true or false? I think it’s wrong, even dangerous advice. Come on over to find out why.

Our topic at the SFF Seven is “Bookstagrammer for a day!” We’re making our own “amazing” cover shots. I’m putting “amazing” in quotes because I’m not at all sure mine qualify. But come on over for my lessons learned – and my also-rans.

Our topic at the SFF Seven this week is “Stupid people tricks – what’s something you know how to do?”

Meanwhile, in the Happy Human Tricks Department, I’ve been loving the reception for BRIGHT FAMILIAR, which released on Friday. This was the best Amazon ranking I saw, but the book has been sitting pretty in the Top 100 of all its subcategories all weekend. Hooray!
