I can’t believe I missed this for a while! Thanks to The Future Fire for posting a little interview with me for the edition my short story “We Will See” was featured in.

L.F. Howard (@lfhowardwriting.bsky.social), author of “We Will See” in The Future Fire #75, joins us for the first of this issue’s #microinterview series, for a chat about aliens, space travel and writing. press.futurefire.net/2026/04/micr...

Saw The Resistable Rise of Arturo Ui. As expected, Mark Gatiss was fantastic as Ui but it's a very disturbing part he plays. He turns from a disgusting person to something far worse. At the bows, you could clearly see that he was exhausted. I'm looking forward to seeing the play again in May.

It's never a bad time to remind ppl that there is a boy-goes-to-wizard-school novel with deeper themes, gorgeous writing, and psychological depth that HP never attained. A Wizard of Earthsea. Do yourself a favor and read it. Ged is the better wizard, better man, and Le Guin the superior writer.

Here we go, #HorrorWritersChat! Today is the 1st October, beginning of spooky season, if you ever let it end, and that means it's International Day of Older Persons. I like the idea of it being International Longevity Day but it isn't that yet. Today is about ageing and horror.

roll call! 
What’s your name, what do you write and ... 
how old are you? 
Don’t be shy. There’s a method to it.

For anyone interested in attending a mostly-Sherlock Holmes themed Con, here’s a good one! Lots of different Sherlock Holmes represented, and they try to have a full roster of other on-trend fandoms on panels as well.

I’m considering pitching an article on how authors may be altering their own writing styles to avoid accusations of using generative AI. For example, AI tends to overuse em dashes, write really long sentences, and list things in threes. Are you changing your styles or your sentences because of this?

I have a question. I have zero graphic arts abilities and have used AI to make my image (black and white head). Given how much the creative community hates AI is that offputting? I want something other than a photo of me, so I’m limited to AI or a stock image.
