Just recorded a podcast for @geeksgalaxy on Rendezvous with Rama, the book by Arthur C. Clarke, soon to be a film directed by Denis Villeneuve. Lots of stuff to say, which you'll have to wait to hear, but it was interesting returning to a book I hadn't read in 40 years.

Join me and @mattkressel on the latest episode of NERD COUNT, where we discuss different approaches to writing short fiction: outlining versus freestyling ("pantsing") versus something in-between!
We had a lot of fun recording this episode!
