]]> Comment on Will steampunk save the science fiction writer? by mwgriffith http://pennwritersarea6.wordpress.com/2008/09/12/will-steampunk-save-the-science-fiction-writer/#comment-234 mwgriffith Sun, 01 Nov 2009 20:47:06 +0000 http://pennwritersarea6.wordpress.com/?p=95#comment-234 Science fiction novels aren't selling eh? That's news to me. Cormac McCarthy's The Road was science fiction. Frank Herbert's Dune has sold around the same number as The Lord Of The Rings. James Patterson and Stephen King are writing science fiction now, and King's Under The Dome, which I have preordered and is the number one seller on amazon, is due out soon. None of these I would consider Steam Punk, which is border-lining a fad more than a genre. Science fiction novels aren’t selling eh? That’s news to me. Cormac McCarthy’s The Road was science fiction.

I will always enjoy reading, but I do admit...books have to work a little harder these days to keep my inner editor from speaking up! =) Fear not, Sue–I am not yet past hope.

It's difficult to 'write with your heart' without thinking of all the criteria/guidelines/rules of each genre :) Love the post!

I was thinking the SAME thing about your name... familiar, unique... I'm glad you made the connection for us. I really enjoyed your piece - it was so cool to read a new POV. I heartily agree about Jason Evans' contests... We must have passed each other at The Clarity of Night on several occasions! My only regret this time around is that I've only had time to read the first 80 entries... I must go back to finish this week. Thanks for visiting Precie, and NICELY DONE!

OMG, THAT's why your name was so familiar to me on the entry list! Can't believe I didn't realize the connection. The Clarity of Night contests are always great fun. It's a wonderfully supportive group of writers. I've participated in several of them, and the entry list grows by leaps and bounds. Jade!
