This is how we teach literature even in the early grades. Their recommendations would be easier to pass along to teachers and students.Jan Dohnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01411787257185283714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10890387.post-4791857565230297062010-01-23T05:59:09.280-08:002010-01-23T05:59:09.280-08:00THANK YOU, Anonymous Person!

Very little true scifi.<br /><br />I have a scifi manuscript making the rounds. It was very exciting to write it, thinking I was doing something others weren't doing right now. But if you really want to sell something, I don't know if now is the time to be writing science fiction.Gail Gauthierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01673131515563387968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10890387.post-86484643608377951262010-01-08T16:59:31.542-08:002010-01-08T16:59:31.542-08:00Hi, Tanita!

A bit in the vein of Dene Low's "Petronella Saves the Day" although that one is more odd than magical (but great fun).<br /><br />I am positively PINING for positive SF. I want to hear about spaceships and flying cars and a world that is not dying but shiny and fun. Where the heck are those books is what I want to know!Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18380722344521975869noreply@blogger.com
