  1. I’m home recovering after a bug, post-finishing my doctorate, post-finishing-school-vacation-trip, and in that in‑between space where I’m figuring out how to bring my doctoral thesis into the world as a book while preparing to release the third ecofiction novel in my trilogy.

    I’ll share the trilogy more on Instagram soon; but of course I’ll talk about it here too.

    While I’m resting, I’ve been thinking about two things:

    1. How to share what I’ve learned from writing visionary ecofiction; not as formal tutorials, but as small, generous micro‑snippets of thought.
    2. How much I enjoy posting Three Good Things here on Mastodon.

    This led me to realize that the micro‑tutorials can become Three Good Things. A small, informal, unstructured series about what I’ve learned so far.

    Here we go.

    ---

    Three Good Things I’ve Learned About Writing Visionary Ecofiction

    1. It brings community together; even when people disagree.
    Across all three novels, I learned so much from people with different perspectives:
    • fracking / hydraulic fracturing (Book 1)
    • medical marijuana (Book 2)
    • high‑speed rail (Book 3).
    Ecofiction is a meeting place; not a consensus.

    2. Writing is solitary; but you don’t have to be lonely in it.
    Anything that helps you contextualize yourself in your larger community is healthy;
    walks, cafés, writing groups, reading groups, sharing drafts.
    People’s commentary is subjective but sharing your work is grounding.
    Place yourself in your wider spheres; it helps.

    3. Take joy in the finishing and sharing stages.
    There’s real pleasure in thinking about the special parts of your process and how you want to share them.
    I love outlining, first drafting, sculpting, revising, hearing the text read back to me, and working with an editor and designer, but also, imagining the visual vignettes that accompany the trilogy. I’m figuring out a visual narrative to share the trilogy on Instagram.
    Finishing is its own creative act.

    Working in a genre that’s still emerging (visionary ecology or visionary ecofiction) gives me freedom to genre‑bend fearlessly.
    Book 1 is a love story (but not a romance).
    Book 2 is a mystery (but not a cozy).
    Book 3 is an adventure (but not Indiana Jones).
    The elasticity is part of the joy.

    These are my three good things today, the first in what I hope will become an informal series of micro‑tutorials on writing visionary ecofiction.

    What lights are you up? When you write, how do you define yourself within your genre?

    Keep writing and share!

    PS, the photo was taken at Giverny, Monet’s Garden in France, on my recent trip.

  4. Huge thanks to Annalee Newitz for their support of T. K. Rex's brand new solarpunk collection, which is out in a month! Pre-orders are still available and very helpful to a small press.

    “Gorgeous, hopeful, and strange, The Wildcraft Drones is a history of the next four millennia that will make you cry — in mourning, and for joy. This is the future that cyborg oak trees and pirate drones want. I do too.”

  5. #vendredilecture
    Je lis pour le plaisir et avec grand plaisir "Un Jeu sans fin" de Richard Powers. Encore une réussite !
    Et je lis en parallèle, dans le cadre des recherches pour mon 2e roman, Le Deuxième Sexe de Simone Beauvoir et Les Français au quotidien 1939-1949.
    Des livres partout autour de moi ( il y en a d'autres encore), je suis bien. 🌿☀️🌈

  17. Renan Bernardo gifted these lovely words about T. K. Rex's THE WILDCRAFT DRONES. "Wealthy people seem to be reading dystopias as rulebooks ... Instead, I'd say for people to read The Wildcraft Drones as a rulebook of how to live in community and find a healthy path to our future." Thanks, Renan!

  23. I’m coming out of a winter hibernation with some news to share… My third ecofiction novel is now out for pre-press reviews and will be published (hopefully!) in May 2026. In the meantime, I’ve written a piece which is up on Medium today about AI and creative writing. Have a look! #AI #EcoFiction #Writing maiakumari.medium.com/writing-

  24. Shoutout to Cynthia Gómez for these wonderful words about T. K. Rex's THE WILDCRAFT DRONES. "These stories challenge us by showing us the logical conclusion of late-stage capitalism – spiraling natural disasters, a mushrooming police state – but they also show the endless promise of resistance and hope."

  32. The Day We Said Goodbye to the Birds" is finally on the new SFWA Recommended Reading List. Any SFWA members who'd like to read it in advance of the March 1 Nebula ballot deadline, here's a direct link to the .pdf (works only when you are logged in to the SFWA site).

    Small press publications have a hard time getting noticed, and award nominations help a lot.

  33. This interview with Lynn Hutchinson Lee is a beautiful reflection on how ecological fiction grows from attention, entanglement, and daily life. “The world is ever-present… events, stimuli are always bombarding us,” she says, describing the layered consciousness behind Orchid’s world. We’re also thrilled to see her new book coming soon from Assembly Press - that cover is absolutely stunning! Southern Ontario Gothic! Highly recommend the read.

  34. The first piece of #ecofiction from Rotting Leaf Mag is now out!

    "Like so many others, this tumbleweed is released from its anchoring root, the wind flinging it into the air. It lands on a grasshopper mouse, trapping it and killing it with sharp thorns and percussive bouncing."
