Those who don’t learn the lessons of an extinct alien civilization’s fall may be doomed to repeat it. Humanity appears to be going down a dangerous path. We’ve developed weapons powerful enough to off ourselves many times over, for example, and we’ve been altering Earth’s climate for decades without much regard for the serious consequences. Similar behavior may have led to the demise of advanced alien races around the galaxy, said Avi Loeb, the chair of Harvard’s astronomy department. Indeed, this might help explain, at least in part, why we have yet to make contact with ET despite the profusion of … Read more

Writing can be its own source of inspiration. This is something I’ve discovered as I’ve gotten into the habit of being prolific. The more I write, the more ideas come to me. I spend a morning handwriting freeform thought, I get a couple ideas for blogs. I write the blogs, I find myself thinking of what I’m going to write in other blogs. I spend a little time working on a story, pushing myself farther, only to find that not only is the story flowing out more easily, I’m getting ideas for other stories. Last month was very busy, yet … Read more

By Jeff Baker Not every writer writes short-stories. The form has been described as “difficult” and “challenging.” Some fiction writers don’t write short-stories. I write almost nothing but short-stories. I haven’t discussed the process very often, and I don’t always do it the same way, but this is more or less how I do it. (Sometimes.) First, there’s the idea. Ideas are easy. Everybody gets them. It’s what we do with them that counts. About four years ago we had a storm here and the power went out. It was Friday evening, we had no place to be the next … Read more
