Hi everyone-

I’m working on getting the interview for the next ISBW. I’ll keep you informed.

SPECULATIVE LITERATURE FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES FALL MENTORSHIP PROGRAM - I know, I keep saying this isn’t an SF podcast, but dangit, this is the king of stuff that falls on my radar.

Wisdom from James D. Macdonald that I found really interesting: A strong verb is one that changes a vowel to make its past tense: swim/swam, hang/hung/, eat/ate. A weak verb is one that retains its vowel and adds “-ed” to the end: walk/walked, look/looked, fail/failed.
