Features

Ideas: How They Work and How To Fix Them by Algis Budrys: "The universe is constantly pelting everyone's sensory apparatus with inputs. An arts -- more specifically for our purposes, a writer -- is someone who is less resistant to inputs than most individuals.

Stalled Careers, Writer's Block, and Monsters Under the Bed by Melisa Michaels: "I had lived in the San Francisco Bay Area and hung out with other writers, and I'd never heard of any of them failing once they got started. I had no idea it had ever happened to anybody else."

Columns

An ePilgrim's Progress: My Experience with Erasmatron, a New Tool for Creating Fiction by Laura Mixon: "Conservative projections are that 20 percent of American adults will be online by the year 2000.
