Writers In Progress (WIP): Avengers
http://writersinprogresswip.blogspot.com/2012/05/avengers.html
Writers In Progress (WIP). Saturday, May 5, 2012. Last night I attended the openning night of Avengers. Unlike some, I wasn't jumping up and down about how absolutely fantastic, perfect, and awesome it was. Keep in mind that if you listen to too many of those comments, you could hype it up too much. That said, I really just have good things to comment on with the movie. End credit scenes. The first after the first part of the credits showing XXXXXX (personally censored). I had a mixed opinion of Captain ...

Alternate History Inquirer: Rick Santorum will (probably) be the next US President, says history
http://alternatehistoryinquirer.blogspot.com/2013/03/rick-santorum-will-probably-be-next-us.html
Tuesday, March 19, 2013. Rick Santorum will (probably) be the next US President, says history. Writing that headline just about made me physically ill. But I have been reading the tea leaves and, unfortunately, all the signs point to his coronation at the 2016 Republican Convention and victory over the Democratic candidate. Hopefully in 2016 I will look back at this post and laugh at how wrong I am, but for now let me explain why I say this. Dwight Eisenhower - None (drafted by the GOP). Surely Hillary C...

Alternate History Inquirer: What if the Columbian expedition was a complete failure?
http://alternatehistoryinquirer.blogspot.com/2013/03/what-if-columbian-expedition-was.html
Sunday, March 24, 2013. What if the Columbian expedition was a complete failure? One common alternate history question is "what if Columbus never discovered the Americas? I am interested in a slightly different possibility; what if Christopher Columbus discovered the New World, but never returned to tell the tale? Say, for the sake of argument, that on the return voyage the Niña. Are destroyed by a hurricane. How does this impact the Age of Exploration? I have to say no. Portuguese history during thi...

Writers In Progress (WIP): May 2011
http://writersinprogresswip.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Writers In Progress (WIP). Wednesday, May 25, 2011. Cool Stuff From Kepler For Science Fiction Writers. A couple of days ago, I found a link to an interesting article on space.com. The article/slide show focuses on the strangest alien planets found by the Kepler spacecraft/telescope. A planet in Globular Cluster M4 is referenced as the oldest planet found - an estimated 8 billion years before Earth. If you want to discuss more advanced races, an older planet is a good place to start, that way you don...
