Programmer by day, writer by night.
I love Science-Fiction, Fantasy, and all the less easily classified forms of speculative fiction. While my writing is typically within these genres, I will read almost anything, fiction or non-fiction.

Does giving away free stories boost sales? Seems like a very complicated issue to me. If freebies do increase sales, do they increase them enough to offset the losses? And how long does it take? Is there a maximum of freebies where they stop paying off? I would love to see some real-world figures for particular authors. |

What's a good program for tracking submissions? I find an ordinary spreadsheet to be perfectly adequate. I have one row per submission, with columns for the story title, the periodical title, date submitted, expected response time (if they list it), the response date, and the response (accept, reject, rewrite). |

What does “Exposition and Ammunition – back story” mean in screenwriting? There's something missing here, and I'm taking a stab at it. Correct me if I'm wrong. |
