Hi all, I've been busy whipping my YA thriller into shape to indie pub it! That's the fun part. The downside is that I haven't been posting quite as often. BUT... I'm determined to catch up! So, let me start by turning you guys onto some of my favorite sci-fi blogs. M'kay? Because I know a lot of you out there are writing fantasy, futuristic stories and sci-fi.
io9 is one of the best. Their slogan is "We come from the future!" They post daily about everything fantasy and sci-fi, including reviews of the latest films, and overviews of the best classic films and novels. They also follow the world of science and space travel. Without further ado: heeeereeee's i09.
And here are a couple of links to their thought-provoking archives:
Another well-regarded blog is SF Signal.
And, just to switch it up, here's a really cool article by Hannah Waters from Scientific American on why scientists should read science fiction blogs.
Do you have some fave sci-fi, science or futuristic blogs you want to share? Do you find it helpful to keep up with scientific advances? What about favorite fantasy/myth sites?
Very cool! I'm going to check these out. I haven't heard of any of them. You know I just came across a sci-fi/futurist blog today and I can't remember the name of it. I'll stop back if I find it again.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the links, just what I needed to help me rethink parts of my story :)
ReplyDeleteCool links! Being a dour, over-serious literary writer (ha!) I don't dive into sci fi much...but I love Livia Blackburne's blog, which explores how applying knowledge from brain science can help writers to create more compelling fiction.
ReplyDeleteYes, Livia Blackburne's blog is great! It's titled A Brain Scientist's Take on Writing and well worth a visit! The link:
