I’m pretty lucky in terms of how much time I could potentially devote to my writing.  I work four days a week, I’m single and I don’t have kids.  So I don’t have the demands on my time that a lot of other writers do.  But I still struggle to make the time to write.  In my case, it’s a question of getting distracted, especially by the Internet.

My fellow Clarion Souther, Ben, has more serious demands on his time.  It’s a lot harder to make the time when you have to young children.  But he’s still managed to almost finish a new novel.

Well, at least I have my own entry in the Internet Movie Database.

I ended up getting an art department credit as a mission designer of all things.

The IMDB lists some computer games.  Many years ago I worked on KKND2 (don’t ask what the acronym stands for).  The game even reached number one on the bestselling charts in Germany.  I never actually played the complete game, but I’m sure it must have been ubergood…

The malcontents from Clarion South Apartment 336 (Ben, Steph, Su Lynn and myself) are proud to announce the arrival of the world’s first 4D blog. (Viewing goggles optional.  Imax version subject to demand).

* More insightful than the Collected Twitter Posts of Jar Jar Binks.

* More controversial than the implementation of decimal time.

* More entertaining than reading a history of object-oriented management strategies written in binary.

* Filled with more Fail than AmazonFail, RaceFail and the Fail Whale combined.

* Now with 20% more monkeys.

For your reading enjoyment we present the wise words and thoughtful thoughts of the unstoppable Sean Williams.

My story Reading By Numbers won third place in the Fantasy Magazine reader poll.

I really enjoyed the story that won first place – Jessica Lee’s Superhero Girl.  It’s her first published story.
