MoMan, I think you mean Scalzi’s Big Idea where author’s get to talk about their latest work on Whatever. You have to contact Scalzi to pitch your Big Idea.

I looked once more. I do not see that he “gets authors” to write about their books, so much as he got you, Phil, to write about your latest book. So, this is not a general invitation for those of us who are published to write about the process, either to encourage (or discourage) others from writing? My books are not on astronomy or science fiction but I would love to share one way to write non-fiction that might please some folks and get them started. But I have nothing to say that can rival death from the skies.

You mentioned “Whatever,” where authors can describe the process of writing their book(s). Did I understand that correctly? Why don’t I see it when I look at that blog? I’ll look again, but so far no success.

Half way though Zoe’s Tale now. So far so good. I love how my favourite blogs have all developed this mutual admiration society.

The Android’s Dreams is something I have been meaning to go back and read.

Dean– when I was a kid, the first short story I ever wrote was how the Earth was an egg.

Boomer: search for heliocentrism on the blog. I’ve written about the shirt before.

Cool shirt Phil! Even better than my geocentric “Teach the Controversy” shirt.
