Announcing the 2026 Ringo Awards Final Ballot Full details: conta.cc/4fKy28u #ringoawards #ringoawards2025 #baltimorecomiccon

I have to get the hang of this retirement thing. I have found myself very busy, but I have done nowhere near as much writing or watching as I thought I would be doing. The schedule is clearing up a bit so I can regroup and refocus this week.

Over at the blog, I recall how thrilled I was to watch Ultraman back in 1966. Were you? bobgreenberger.com/2...

Over at the blog, I admit I was a fan of the original Newlywed Game, which debuted 60 years ago today. bobgreenberger.com/2...

This week on Planetside… Our series Writing from Science continues with “Searching the Medical Literature for Yourself” by Randall Hayes, PhD, read by @bobgreenberger.bsky.social: sfwa.org/2026/07/07/s...

Over at the blog, I review Supergirl, which I liked, wondering where the hate comes from, and conclude it's because different people see Supergirl in different ways. bobgreenberger.com/2...

Reminds me of my favorite Worf line, which comes from the novel DOOMSDAY WORLD by, among others, @bobgreenberger.bsky.social. "If I had been allowed to do what I wanted to do when I wanted to do it, we would have had fewer problems." Like Sartre wrote, "Hell is other people."

Over at the blog, I reveal my packed-as-usual schedule for #ShoreLeave46, which starts on Friday. I hope to see many of your there! bobgreenberger.com/2...

I have read this and suggest any comics fan will appreciate the book.

My Kickstarter graphic novel launches tomorrow. E. Nelson Bridwell: First Fan reveals the untold story of the influential Silver Age DC comics editor - and the first fan to work professionally in comics. #comics #comicbooks #graphicnovels #comicsky

Over at the blog, I reminisce on 60 years of Dark Shadows. bobgreenberger.com/wp-admin/pos...

The Department of Defense, under orders from unqualified leadership, have asked for $70 billion for Iran. Having squandered more than twice that, I find it an irresponsible use of tax payer dollars. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/24/u...

June 17, 2026 A senior U.S. official read the text of the fourteen-point memorandum of understanding with Iran over the phone to reporters today, and there’s a reason it has ignited a firestorm. A memorandum of understanding is usually a nonbinding agreement….

The steampunk short story clocks in at 8600 words, 1100 over the suggested word count and is off to Mr. Editor.

After three days of trying to write, and life getting in the way, I am finally back at the keyboard working on my first steampunk short story. 4400 words down, over halfway to the goal. #amwritng (at last).

Our "Girls, Women, and Ladies" issue has an article on one of the first real attempts to bring Japanese Manga to the US in 1986, led by the series "Mai, the Psychic Girl". Article written by Robert Greenberger @bobgreenberger.bsky.social

I have a story in this sampler series so do give it and the others a try.

Here's a project I've been working on. It gives you a chance to sample writing from a couple dozen writers, all for free. (With links so you can buy other work from them if you like it.) chainstorycore.com

Here's a worthy project that could use some love.

Hey writers, anyone familiar with a hero display? It was described as a professionally designed visual banner that presents my manuscript in a clear and engaging way. It highlights key elements such as synopsis, core themes, and important details that is easy to understand at a glance.

The oddly developing writing project has been bouncing along at a good clip and I have started getting my hopes up. Now, the next person in this chain has yet to reply. Nothing wrong with that, but all the momentum has stopped. It feels very unusual.
