Ask a Smart Guy: The Novelology Marathon
Hello, hello. What’s this? Two blog posts in one week? Well, why the heck not?
It’s time for our infrequent and irregular Ask A Smart Guy segment. Let’s start with this comment someone recently posted on the site.
I have been an aspiring writer for five++ years, and still cannot find a method that works for me. Every time I start a story a new story idea pops into my head. The new story idea will nag me to death, until I give the idea some attention. I have thousands of introductions to show for it.

Still Alive
Haven’t posted anything in a while. Been busy as heck trying to finish this damn novel. Writing can be a real pain in the ass sometimes. Even when you know what you want to write, just the time to write it is a killer. When I’m ahead of schedule, a book juste seems to appear out of nowhere. When I’m behind, every page just seems to take forever. And it’s not like I’m blocked or anything on this damn thing. It’s just putting aside the time and keeping at it.
Still, I’m behind, and I really shouldn’t be wasting much time blogging when I have actual work to do.

…But Robots REALLY Are Cool.
I was perusing the internet, as I am wont to do, when I came across a thoughtful comment regarding my recent zombie panel at Armadillocon. I wanted to cut and paste it directly, but I couldn’t find it today, and it’s late, and I’m lazy, so I’ll just sort of paraphrase what the poster said as best I can. Apologies if I screw it up.
“Martinez and Thomas made some interesting points about the redundancy of the genre and how every zombie story is basically the same, but none of that really matters because zombies rule!”
