I managed the first chapter of  Saturn’s Children by Charles Stross, and kept putting off returning to it. The perky tone of Zoe’s Tale by John Scalzi is exactly the kind of YA that punts me right out. Then I ran out of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=writingeveryday.wordpress.com&blog=2980432&post=2930&subd=writingeveryday&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;The Erdmann Nexus,&#8221; by Nancy Kress has the trademark detailed descriptions and well-drawn characters, but I have a problem with its One Impossible Thing. The story opens with a slightly confusing passage about a spaceship that&#8217;s not the spaceship Dr. Erdmann imagines it to be. Then we actually meet Dr. Henry Erdmann, a physicist retired [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=writingeveryday.wordpress.com&blog=2980432&post=3771&subd=writingeveryday&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
