The Weekend Roundup – 7th July
10,300 words this week and sitting at 111,400 overall. Only a few days now until the second draft is finished.
Links:
- A Timeline of the 2013 SFWA Controversies – A good summation of all that has been happening with sexism, misogyny and the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America recently. Odd to think it is 2013 and still things like this are happening.
- THE GOLDEN AGE OF SCIENCE FICTION SWIMMING CLUB: More Thoughts on SFF, Sexism, Racism and General Badness – A great article that basically summarises the above.
- Clean Rooms, Messy Bodies: The Intersection of SF and Romance – a great article from Radish Reviews, an awesome website I came across thanks to following @nkjemisin on twitter, who has been involved in some of the recent SFWA stuff. I really need to do a post with my own thoughts on the matter, work has been very busy the past few weeks but I should have time to do that this week.
