Steampunk and Synthesizers: Global Harming
http://anachronology.blogspot.com/2014/05/global-harming.html
Ren Cummins: Author and Anachronologist. May 8, 2014. Thought I'd take a bit of a thematic departure today and discuss something I keep seeing, reading, hearing about and I'm really close to getting a concussion from all the times I strike my head against the wall. 1 Scientists present facts: X is happening, Y is probably the cause. 2 Other interested parties (and if you go far enough, it's the people who make money from X) say "oh, pshaw. Your theories are bad because Z.". 4 Return to step 1. Sometimes,...

Ren Cummins: Author and Anachronologist. Feb 3, 2014. One Lengua To Rule Them All. A lot of folks seemed to be okay when Coca Cola tried to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony. And I guess maybe they thought Coke was speaking literally. Because now that they're trying to invite us to be okay with the idea of *racial* harmony. People have just lost their freaking minds. I'd like to invite all those people who say that America should only speak its truly American. Aspire to be better, my friends.

Steampunk and Synthesizers: Memorial
http://anachronology.blogspot.com/2014/05/memorial.html
Ren Cummins: Author and Anachronologist. May 26, 2014. So many people have died for this country. Died. It's a sobering thought. Many of them wore uniforms, held weapons to defend or attack their enemies. Our nation was founded on the principle of being prepared to defend this nation at all costs, from any enemy, without or within. I think about those people as well. And I wonder how long we - all of us, this whole human race - will allow all this senselessness to go on. What might we do?

Ren Cummins: Author and Anachronologist. May 13, 2013. The Choice Is Yours! With the Steampunk vibe pounding once more in my veins, I'm ready - excited to start on my next adventure, but I find myself at a fork in the road. There are two big stories I want to tell, and I'm not sure which one to do first. Here are the choices:. 2 The further adventures of Favo Carr - the self-proclaimed hero of Aesirium and somewhat reformed scoundrel Favo has one great new adventure: to live.

Ren Cummins: Author and Anachronologist. Oct 23, 2013. Archetype vs. Stereotype. I attended the recent Geek Girl Con. And I gave a workshop on character creation, followed by a small signing, and it was one of the more cleanly inspiring hours I've had in a few months. Not to be underestimated. Aside from a few bad apples in the mix - there's always one or two, aren't there? It was a solid and enjoyable weekend. But now I'm looking down the barrel of another SteamCon. Along with writer Jane Espenson.

Steampunk and Synthesizers: Is Amazon the Devil?
http://anachronology.blogspot.com/2014/06/is-amazon-devil.html
Ren Cummins: Author and Anachronologist. Jun 3, 2014. Is Amazon the Devil? It was a nice dream. Music relented the stage back to writing, and I resumed my quest for storytelling, seeking out the right story and the ability to tell it. How could that experience possibly be replicated on the internet? The quest.was sterilized. A short time later, I wrote my first book. Now, the at-that-time established process for publishing success was simple: 1) write a book; 2) get an agent; 3) get your book signed ...
