Thunder Bay Writer's Challenge: Write in Every Coffee Shop in the City by 31 March 2026.
A few days before Christmas I embarked on a quest: do some writing in every coffee shop in #ThunderBay by 31 Mar. ’26. I didn’t realize how many coffee shops the city has! I am now thoroughly caffeinated and feeling creative.

Joe Stech, former editor of 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘚𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘍𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, has put together a new anthology to be released at the end of October. I'm excited to have a story of mine appear in 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘞𝘦𝘪𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳.

The trouble with writing novels rather than short stories is that I have to wait so much longer between rejection letters.

I’m now writing the one scene of my WIP that’s set in #Saskatchewan, trying to capture how its landscape shaped me. The fact that it’s set 14,000 years in the future doesn’t stop it from making me feel homesick.

I love finding a book of mine “out in the wild”. This is my collection Chasing New Suns at Chapters-Indigo in #ReginaSK.

I love me a good sci-fi disaster. And I also love me a good post-apocalypse tale. But I suspect the best contribution speculative fiction writers can make to global society right now is realistic apocalypse-avoidance fiction.

When science fiction pays attention to ecosystems, it seems to have a bias toward oceans, forests, and deserts. But grasslands and savannas speak to a different part of the soul. I need more #RangelandEcosystems in speculative fiction.

Post-apocalyptic SF ≠ Dystopian SF.
Post-apocalyptic SF: a virus has wiped out 99.99% of the world’s coffee plants.
Dystopian SF: A totalitarian government and/or corporate oligarchy uses mass psychological manipulation to convince the population that decaf is just as good as regular.

Yet Dylan wrote some of the most enduring, politically relevant lyrics that have ever been written. Maybe if he had studied the philosophy of Bruce Lee he would have said, “I call it the art of writing a protest song without writing a protest song.” That’s what I want to do in SF. #iwritespecfic
Lance Robinson, science fiction writer, is tired. But he's hanging in there.
The past two weeks drained me. But I finished another chapter, in which the main character sees how thoroughly the government he works for has abandoned Truth as a guiding principle.
Therapy for the writer? Not sure. But it feels good to have finished the chapter.

One sign of the crumbling is what’s happening on social media. And that’s why I’ve made the move to BlueSky. So you BlueSky folks who’ve been here longer than I, please do the social media equivalent of bringing me a casserole to welcome me to the neighborhood.

#BluePitHype I’m finishing a BA in Creative and Professional writing. I’ve done several writing courses with the Australian Writers Centre and before any of that I was a prolific scribbler of ideas on the backs of paper.
