Some ten-year-olds know, unwaveringly, exactly who they THE FOUR TYPES OF POWER There are at least four words missing from the English language; words that could more accurately describe the general concept of "power."

On December 27
In Culture Rants/Shares, Politics
, Problem Solving
2019, for me, was a combination of fun times and existential dread. I love my family and friends and the time I spend with them. I releasedmy second novel
,
completed the first draft of a third, and started on my fourth. I had plenty of consulting work and money in the bank. I had great times playing Dungeons & Dragons, Pokemon GO, poker, and a bunch of othergames.
At the same time, I worried for my daughter’s future. Climate change is an existential threat, guns in schools are a constant worry, and every major city in California has tent cities filled with homeless people, many who are drug addicts and/or mentally ill. And our leader? We have a racist, short-sighted, vindictive president backed by at least 40% of the country. I worry for myself as well. Will I stay healthy? Will I continue to have enough work as a freelancer? Will enough people buy and review my novels that publishers stay interested? But in my wiser moments I can see that these worries are just manifestations of my desires (longevity, wealth, fame in my profession) and are self-inflicted; being grateful for what I have in the moment is usually the remedy.Read More

LONG-TERM THINKING AS A COPING MECHANISM FOR POLITICAL INSANITY (OR WHY I WRITE SCIENCE FICTION)By J.D. Moyer
On December 16
In Culture Rants/Shares, Writing
_The Guardian_ in John Scalzi’s advance reading copy pile I should say up front that this post is a book plug. But it’s also an honest account of what’s been going on in my head since the orange menace was elected and the stock market graph of human progresstook a sharp dip.
Three years into the Trump administration, I’m learning how to manage my emotions around the fact that a narcissistic man-child is systematically dismantling everything good about our country (human rights, environmental protections, voting rights and fair elections, a relatively good standing in the international community, etc.), while simultaneously worsening our preexisting national issues (racism, gun violence, massive wealth inequality, expensive healthcare, etc.). It’s an awful situation that has negatively impacted my own well-being (and I’m a relatively wealthy, privileged white male, with plentiful resources; most have it much worse).Read More

AWARDS ELIGIBILITY
In 2019 almost all my writing efforts were dedicated to my new novel _The Savior Virus_ (currently in first draft form). That meant I didn’t work much on much new short fiction, though I did start a Duotrope subscription in August, which got me back into the habit of submitting stories. I went back to some older pieces with fresh eyes and made substantial revisions (and changed the titles of a couple stories). That resulted in some new sales, the first of which was just published in Into theRuins.
So my 2019 awards eligibility list is very short:Short Story

HOW AND WHEN TO USE NEGATIVE VISUALIZATIONBy J.D. Moyer
On November 16
In Metaprogramming
I don’t enjoy worrying or ruminating. Excessive rumination is linked to depression, a loss of hope, and a more negative interpretation of events and experiences. When I find myself obsessing on a negative possibility, I do what I can to break out of that thought pattern. Exercise or sports usually helps, as does any kind of physical activity that demands my full attention. Writing and journaling can help to crystallize or express my thoughts, and to gainperspective.
There are advantages to optimism. Optimists tend to live longerand
have better health outcomes when they get sick. They may be more successful in their careers and have better financial health.
I’m usually optimistic, but I have plenty of worries and anxieties as well. I also wonder how much I should _try_ to be optimistic and not worry about various possible calamities, and in what circumstances it makes sense to consider worst case scenarios and other pooroutcomes.
I usually try to imagine best case scenarios.
Even though those best case scenarios are unlikely to materialize, imagining them help keep me oriented in the direction I want to begoing.
But I think there is a place for imagining bad possibilities indetail.

THE GUARDIAN BOOK LAUNCH, AND A NEW PUBLISHED STORYBy J.D. Moyer
On October 20
In Creative Work/Career, Writing
Thank
you so much to everyone who came out to East Bay Booksellers in Oakland for the launch of _The Guardian_! We had a full house, the books sold out, and I think I’m getting marginally better at reading my own work (despite some minor microphone malfunctions). Wine, cookies, and pretzels were consumed, books were signed in gold sharpie, and — as far as I could tell — a good time was had byall.
Reviews so far are great, at least in terms of average ratings. I could definitely use _more_ reviews; as of today I only have nine reviews on Goodreadsand three
reviews on Amazon
.
If you’ve read _The Guardian_ please take a second or a few minutes to leave a rating or review (both appreciated, including short one sentence reviews). As I’ve acknowledged before, writing reviews is much harder than it feels like it should be, so I will definitely owe you one if you write me a review (feel free to cash in if you need me to water your cat or walk your plant while you’re on vacation).RECLAIMED EARTH
> The Guardian is exactly what I’m hoping for when I pick up a > sci-fi novel – richly descriptive worlds; the scientific elements > are advanced and incredible but written in such a way to be > plausible and the interesting, generally sympathetic cast of > characters are thrust into situations which are exciting and > thought-provoking. – Karen Cole (Hair Past a Freckle Book Blog) If you’re not familiar with my Reclaimed Earth science fiction series, here’s a blurb to give you taste of what’s going on: _In the year 2737, Earth is mostly depopulated in the wake of a massive supervolcano, but civilization and culture are preserved in vast orbiting ringstations. Tem, the nine-year-old son of a ringstation anthropologist and a Happdal bow-hunter, wants nothing more than to become a blacksmith like his uncle Trond. But after a rough patch as the only brown-skinned child in the village, his mother Car-En decides that the family should spend some time on the Stanford ringstation. Tem gets caught up in the battle against Umana, the tentacle-enhanced ‘Squid Woman’, while protecting a secret that could change the course of humanity and civilization._ I’ve had some generous reviews from book bloggers, including KarenCole who writes
:
“The Guardian is exactly what I’m hoping for when I pick up a sci-fi novel – richly descriptive worlds; the scientific elements are advanced and incredible but written in such a way to be plausible and the interesting, generally sympathetic cast of characters are thrust into situations which are exciting and thought-provoking.”THE SACRAMENTO SEA
My first ever cli-fi story _The Sacramento Sea_ was just published in Issue #14 of Into the Ruins, a
deindustrial/post-industrial/economic collapse magazine edited by Joel Caris. Whether you’re an optimist or a pessimist regarding the fate of humanity (or the fate of humanity’s ongoing “civilization” experiment) it’s useful to imagine collapse scenarios. It’s useful because they are _continuously happening_ (Puerto Rico, Haiti, the U.S. Executive Branch), even if your part of the world is peaceful and overflowing with abundance. My short story imagines a devastating, isolating local environmental collapse in California as the rest of the world continues business as usual. That seems to be the way these things often play out. Of course global economic and/or environmental collapse is possible (and some would say probable), but localized collapses are far more common.The
California inland sea also makes an appearance in my drafted-but-not-yet-finished novel _The Savior Virus_, and though the short story and the novel don’t share any characters, both works take place in the same fictional world. The levy system that prevents flooding of the bay delta during surges is somewhat precariously maintained, and sustained sea level rise of just a few feet could turn the Sacramento Valley into an inland sea, just as it was during the Great Flood of 1862, and before that as described by Native Americans.
