Why Jeff Baker, Boogieman In Lavender, Is Writing Two Novellas At Once. (May 12, 2026)
Why I’m Writing Two Novellas At Once by Jeff Baker I am a terrible procrastinator. (Okay, okay. Actually I’m a very good procrastinator.) I’m a great putter-offer, especially about writing. So, when I tried to start writing regularly years and years ago I told myself that I would only work on one story at a...

HoneyMustardSo I'm writing a novel that takes place 200 years in the future of a planet Earth that is no longer exactly planet Earth, it's morphed into something else. And as nonbinary as I am, for me the only thing that makes sense in this reality is that either there would be even more pronouns, or less. Full disclosure: I haven't had access to and therefore haven't read any queer sci-fi, so I don't know how this is usually handled, but writing just "she/he" and even "they" feels primitive.
The closest I've gotten to feeling like I'm doing something that makes sense is using mostly neopronouns depending on the culture, but I don't know if that would make it confusing for readers. I would love to know what the current conversation around this is.

Pickett causing a stir among the sports-minded in Peter Lefcourt’s 1992 baseball novel “The Dreyfus Affair.” Set presumably in the early Two-Thousands and loosely patterned after the...
