Quotes of the Day

“The use of the wearable computer changes with each person. When this device is your way of seeing, or a seeing aid, it’s how you see the world. When you use it as a memory aid, it is your brain.” Steve Mann

SF story ideas, anyone?

“Good writing is supposed to evoke sensation in the reader – not the fact that it is raining, but the feeling of being rained upon.” E. L. Doctorow

“They hear nearly every sound, notice every movement, and process the expression on every person’s face. And that means that simply walking through a public space can be an assault on their senses.” Andre Sólo

A good description of POV characters.

The latest offering is “This One Thing.” You can read it at https://harveystanbroughwrites.com/this-one-thing/.
