Thinking about my writing process For #PretendPanel I've found a method that works well for me, and I stock with it as I expand the Misplaced Kingdoms.

Looking back at all the wonderful #SpeculativeFiction from Aotearoa New Zealand in 2025, both to vote on what I think was the best for the Sir Julius Vogel awards, and to make a list of awesome things to go read!

A really enjoyable harder scifi novel, with a good voice that barrels along nicely! I enjoyed Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir.

Had a wonderful time with R. F. Kuang's Babel, although it took me borrowing it from the library four times and waiting while others read it in between. A fascinating world she built, and some really good things to say about solidarity.

When I read a comment comparing my book to Pratchett and Miyazaki, even loosely, I. Flipped. Out.
It's a funny fantasy, with witches, romance, and idiots in positions of authority. Check it out!

There's two cool sets of awards for New Zealand fantasy and science fiction going on, and you should get involved in both, and look out for the winners later in the year! The nomination shortlists are always fantastic too.

One of my favourite end of year traditions is reflecting on the great things that have happened over the year! So often it is easy to forget some wonderful things from the early months!

I think @ydawtheshow.bsky.social is one of the best places to learn about the history of dinosaurs, and they've done some really famous dinos already! Go do some binge watching!
