Like a little science fiction in your writing blog?
"Hey everyone, short post today as I’m getting ready for my “Meet You’re a to Z Co-Host.” So feel free to ask me any question about me. You can ask such questions as:
* Am I carbon based?
* Do I have a time travelling wormhole parked in my garage?
* Do I really have webbed feet? "

Marcy's an author and writing expert, but today's post is a challenging detour!
"Why I hate the Jedi - by Marcy's husband Chris
For many Star Wars fans, Luke Skywalker is a hero. He’s the hometown boy who discovers himself and goes on to save the galaxy, starting with a two-meter-wide exhaust port on the Death Star I. But what makes Luke Skywalker able to do these things is that he’s a Jedi, maybe one of the greatest ever. In my mind, it’s quite possible that Luke Skywalker—not Darth Vader—was the Chosen One of the Jedi prophesies."

Looking for an agent? In depth questions with agent Jennifer Azantian
"Here to relieve some of that endless worrying is a new series of posts called Query Questions. I'll ask the questions which prey on every writer's mind, and hopefully take some of the pain out of querying. These are questions that I've seen tossed around on twitter and writing sites like Agent Query Connect. They are the type of questions that you need answers for the real expert--agents!"

Awesome writing craft blog, but I especially enjoy the regular Flogging a Pro feature
"Flog a Pro: would you turn this bestselling author’s first page?
... Brendan didn’t knock on the cabin door, just turned the handle and slipped inside, looking back as he did so to be sure no one had seen him. He didn’t want to have to explain what a young man from cabin class was doing in an elderly peer’s room at that time of night. Not that anyone would have commented"
