A Case for More Unicorns in Science Fiction

5/6/2015

So, my publisher asked me to write a blog post for their site. To be honest, I wasn't so sure about the idea at first, so I had a little back and forth with them that went something like this (Note: It actually went nothing like this--but in my head this is exactly how things played out):

Me (writer, difficult, shies away from public displays): Huh-uh. Waaayyyy too much pressure. I'm not your monkey, Mr. Publisher Man.  You can't expect me to  come up with some very sage, very writerly blog post idea on a whim.

Publisher (patient, tendency toward eye rolling): You can't write about anything, Any topic you want.

Me: *squints suspiciously* Anything?

Publisher: *heavy sigh* Yes. Anything. Just write something, okay?

Me: Maybe. I'll think about it. [Ten minutes later] I'VE GOT THE PERFECT IDEA IT'LL BE ALL ABOUT UNICORNS AND-

Publisher: Fine-fine. *waves hand* Just...write it, okay? And make sure to submit it on time?

Me: Hmm?  Wha? Time. Right. Got it. *googles unicorns picture, giggles giddily*. Unicorns. Kick ass.

And that's how I ended up writing this blog post about unicorns. And dragons. And why there should be more unicorns in space.  UNICORNS, BITCHES!
