I participated in an Afternoon with Authors event today at the Leaves Bakery & Books store in Fort Worth, Texas.
From left to right in the photo are Megan Dawn, Fabiana Elisa Martínez, Amanda Russell, and me. I learned a lot from listening to them discuss the writing process. Each of us, of course, does things in a different way.
We discussed our individual writing rituals, the reason we started writing, our writing influences, our preference for outlining or free discovery, the reasons humans like stories, and the ways we hope our stories affect our readers.
Each of us read some of our work. I read the beginning of my short story “Its Tender Metal Hand” from the new anthology Spring into Scifi (2025 Edition) by Cloaked Press.
I wish to thank, not only those fellow authors, but also the staff at Leaves Bakery & Books, and those who attended the event.
